The need

 The national average for public education is
 $7,500 a year, per student.


 The national average in the poorest countries

The Need
 The U.S. spends 28% of the global education
 budget on 4% of the world’s children.
 Sub-Saharan Africa spends 2.4% of the global
 education budget on 15% of the world’s
 children.
 Low GDP = Low % spent on education
The Need
The Need
 One in three children, worldwide, does not
 complete the fifth grade. Many receive no
 education at all.
The Need
 One in three children, worldwide, does not
 complete the fifth grade. Many receive no
 education at all.
 Research shows that more of the same
 (more teachers, schools, books, etc.) is
 laudable, but insufficient.
The Need

  Do not give them more books, more
     schools, more of the same...

         Give them the world

        Give them the internet
