The world is in the depths of a learning crisis. Nearly seven-out-of-ten children globally are estimated to be in Learning Poverty, unable to read and understand a simple text by the age of ten. Foundational skills – the ability to read with understanding, do basic mathematics, and have socio-emotional skills – are essential for all subsequent learning and skills development that allows a child to reach their full potential and contribute to sustainable development. The magnitude of the learning crisis demands urgent action at scale to ensure children achieve foundational learning skills.
