James has difficulty following lessons as he can't see well. Many other young refugees like him have some form of disability or special needs. Watch how we're promoting inclusive education for all children. Education is for everyone #Education4all

12 million girls are married before the age of 18 every year. This is a serious problem in places like Tanzania, where girls are subjected to mandatory pregnancy testing at school and kicked out if the test is positive, leading many into forced marriages.

246 million children are estimated to experience violence in schools yearly. School-related gender-based violence is a serious barrier to universal education.

We are currently finalizing a study that will generate data to guide the formulation of policies for combating the vice.
