"Literacy and the quality of education remain among the most neglected of all education goals, with about 796 million adults lacking literacy skills today. Two-thirds are women. Millions of children are leaving school without having acquired the knowledge and skills they need to fully participate in society. In twenty-two countries, 30% or more of young adults have fewer than four years of education, and it rises to 50% or more in eleven sub-Saharan African countries." (Quoted from statistics)
