Learning is different from Schooling
THE DOG’S NAME IS A PUPPY. This seems like a simple sentence. But did you know that in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, three out of four third-grade students don’t understand this? In rural India, nearly three-quarters of third-graders can’t solve a two-digit subtraction problem like 46 minus 17, and by the fifth grade, half still can’t do it.
The world is facing a learning crisis. Although countries have significantly expanded access to education, school attendance is not the same as learning. Around the world, hundreds of millions of children reach adulthood without even the most basic skills, such as calculating the correct change from a deal, reading a doctor’s instructions, or understanding bus schedules, let alone building a full-fledged career or educating their children.
