Access Without Learning: The Dark Reality of Developing World Classrooms
0While more kids than ever are attending school in developing countries, the quality of education they're receiving is shockingly poor. In this eye-opening video, we explore the harsh reality facing classrooms across Africa, Asia, and beyond. From teacher absenteeism to students being taught in languages they don't understand to dismal literacy and numeracy rates, the statistics are grim. Despite families spending over 10% of their income on school fees, up to 80% of primary students can't read a simple book. We also discuss promising solutions like "Teaching at the Right Level" that meet students where they're at. This is a global learning crisis that demands urgent attention and action.
