September is Rotary Basic Education and Literacy Month
OUR VISION
Rotary envisions a more equitable and just world in which all children and adults have access to quality education and lifelong opportunities to learn numeracy and literacy skills.
About 272 million children are not in school (they did not enrol or have dropped out), and the UN estimates that without additional measures, 84 million more children and young people will be out of school by 2030. Approximately 300 million students will lack the basic numeracy and literacy skills necessary for success in life. Rotary’s pathway to impact in basic education and literacy emphasizes the importance of getting children the numeracy and literacy skills they need while they’re still in school
