Africa School Children Statics
Education is a fundamental human right: Every girl and boy in every country is entitled to it. Quality education is critical to development both of societies and of individuals, and it helps pave the way to a successful and productive future. When all children have access to a quality education rooted in human rights and gender equality, it creates a ripple effect of opportunity that influences generations to come.

Chic African Culture advocates for high-quality, child-friendly basic education for all, with an emphasis on gender equality and eliminating disparities of all kinds.
When
children start school late and lack the necessary tools for learning, their
educational progress suffers and they are more likely to drop out, contributing
to the intergenerational cycle of poverty. It is crucial that children be
adequately prepared for primary school, begin school on time and receive a
comprehensive, high-quality education.
In
addition, societies must address gender discrimination from birth. By the time
they enter preschool, most children have adopted socially-accepted gender roles
and models of behavior, which have an enormous impact on their education and
their lives.
By
getting children ready for school, we arm them with the tools necessary to
build fulfilling lives, become productive citizens and take their place in the
global community.
