Sommario/riassunto

Progress in literacy and learning, especially through universal primary education, has done more to advance human conditions than perhaps any other policy. Our generation has the possibility of becoming the first generation ever to offer all children access to good quality basic education.

And it will only happen if also those who cannot afford to pay school fees can benefit from a complete cycle of good quality primary
