Additionally, increased quality primary school education provides skills in literacy and numeracy resulting in a direct impact on poverty and hunger. “Education is a human right with immense power to transform.

Additionally, increased quality primary school education provides skills in literacy and numeracy resulting in a direct impact on poverty and hunger. This is seen particularly in slums and rural areas where employment opportunities might be rare, and education enables people to make better use of available resources, such as land productivity or managing household budgets. “Education is a human right with immense power to transform.
