Education

Education is the transfer of knowledge, skills, and values that empowers individuals and fosters socioeconomic mobility. It plays a critical role in reducing poverty and driving economic growth. While progress has been made in increasing access to education, challenges remain, including low literacy rates, disparities in enrolment, and gaps in educational quality. Investing in education strengthens workforce development, innovation, and long-term economic stability.
