Education is many children's route out of poverty. It gives them a chance to gain valuable knowledge and skills, and to improve their lives. And it means when they grow up, their children will have a much better chance of surviving and thriving. But millions of children today never see the inside of a classroom. Many others drop out, often because their class is overcrowded and the teachers poorly trained.

That's why we're helping millions of children go to school for the first time, and improving the quality of the education on offer.
