World Bank & UNICEF, 2022young people and adults lack basic literacy skills, two thirds of them women.
UNESCOThe gap isn't only overseas. In the classrooms we sit in, the students who get furthest are often the ones who happened to have access to a study plan, a practice test, or someone who had already done it. Nearly everywhere, those things carry a price. We don't think they should.
