Third of World’s Poorest Girls Denied Access to School
A third of the world’s poorest girls, aged between 10 and 18, have never been to school, says the United Nations.
A report from Unicef, the UN’s children’s agency, warned that poverty and discrimination were denying an education to millions of young people.
It criticised a “crippling learning crisis” for impoverished families, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
The findings were published as education ministers from 120 countries gathered for a conference in London.
