UNESCO report

I feel that education reaching the marginilized should be at the top of countries list of priorities. Until countries get their children education nothing will change and the people will never be able to get out of poverty. These children are the future of their country and they need to be educated. It really shocked about the statistics with the graph. It was shocking how many 17-22 year olds had less then 2 years of education especially in Yemen which was the country with the most. It really made me realize how lucky I am because I have had about 5 times the years of education then they have had and im only 15. It really makes me appreciate the life I was given and how lucky I am because I could easily have been a girl born in Yemen and my life would completely different and I could never have even stepped foot in a school setting. Bottom line is this needs to change and people need to fight for the rights of these children.
