All children are #BorntoLearn, but so many never get the chance. Sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest rates of learning in the world, with at most one in five children reaching minimum proficiency in reading and mathematics.
When families realize their children do not benefit from school, it is more likely that they will leave school early. One in four children do not even finish primary school. To help all children progress through school, there is still a lot more to be done, from better preparing and supporting teachers to ensuring all students have access to textbooks, especially in their home language.
Over the next three years, we'll be following the lives and learning journeys of four children in Africa, whose unique stories, aspirations, and accomplishments bring to life the experiences shared by countries in the Spotlight report on foundational learning in Africa, Born to Learn.
