    This document discusses schools in Africa and the challenges around education. Some key points: - 33 million primary-aged children in sub-Saharan Africa do not attend school, and primary school enrollment is among the lowest in the world. Literacy rates have improved but about 40% of adults are still illiterate. - Education is important for lifting people out of poverty, stopping disease transmission, and providing meals for children. It also builds confidence and community. - Organizations are working to address this issue but more can be done through awareness, fundraising, volunteering, and sponsoring children. Getting educated about the problems in Africa can help spread awareness and support solutions.

    Schools in Africa

    Maddy Rennie, Grade 1o

    Why am I talking about this


    topic?

    Education statistics

    Almost 70 million children across the world are prevented from going to school each day.

    33 million primary school-aged children in Sub-Saharan Africa do not go to school. 18 million


    of these children are girls.

    Primary school enrolment in African countries is among the lowest in the world.

    In Sub-Saharan Africa, only two-thirds of children who start primary school reach the final
    grade.

    Although literacy rates have greatly improved in Africa over the last few decades,
    approximately 40% of Africans over the age of 15, and 50% of women above the age of 25
    are illiterate.

    There is an average of 40 pupils per teacher in sub-Saharan Africa, but the situation varies
    considerably from country to country. In many countries, it is more than 60 to one.

    Why is education important?


    For most of Africa's children, education represents the only way out of a life of entrenched
    poverty. Across the continent, millions of children currently subsist on less than EUR 1 a day.
    Only those who can read, write and do arithmetic can hope to get a better paid job when they
    grow up.
    It can help to stop the spread of diseases. Education can be seen as key to tackling the spread
    of HIV. If enough people become educated about the issue of HIV and AIDS they can help to
    prevent the spread of the illnesses.
    Schools in Africa can also provide food for many children. Some of the children who attend
    school in Africa receive their only hot meal of the day, or in some cases only meal of the day,
    at school.
    Finally, school builds confidence, cohesiveness and community. Educated children are less
    likely to become victims of violence and abuse. They are more likely to invest in improving
    their community when they are grown. And the follow-on effects of even basic education
    quickly multiply, as children who have benefited from schooling themselves strive to secure
    even better opportunities for their own families.

    Who is St Jude?
    According to the New Testament, Jude was
    one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He is
    generally identified with Thaddeus, and is
    also variously called Jude of James, Jude
    Thaddaeus, Judas Thaddaeus or Lebbaeus.
    He is sometimes identified with Jude, the
    brother of Jesus, but is clearly
    distinguished from Judas Iscariot, the
    apostle who betrayed Jesus prior to his
    crucifixion.

    In the Roman Catholic Church, he is the


    patron saint of desperate cases and lost
    causes.

    What can we do to help?


    A major way that we can help these countries improve their education is to become
    educated ourselves. If we are aware of the problem in Africa and we understand the issue
    we can help improve the situation. The awareness and education of this problem can be
    spread throughout the world, the more attention that is brought to the issue the more of a
    chance we have of improving it. If everyone understands the problem and how they can
    help fix it, it makes them more likely to contribute. The right awareness, education and
    funds can help to end this problem.
    We can help by holding awareness events, by sponsoring a child in Africa, by raising
    money, by volunteering at a school, and so many more. The list is endless, there are so
    many opportunities and ways that someone could help make a difference to the poor
    education in Africa.
