Here's a look at just some of the obstacles that children in some parts of the world have to overcome just to get an education.

1. Gender discrimination

In many countries, due to poverty, security or cultural factors, male children will be educated while their female siblings will not. Girls are four times more likely to be out of school than boys from the same background. The poorest girls are the least likely to complete primary school.
2. Attacks on schools

Education is often hit hard by conflicts - with schools bombed, damaged, looted and destroyed. Many places of learning are permanently closed and children lose out on an education. Each year about 75 million children and youth living in conflict zones have their education disrupted, receive poor-quality education or drop out of school altogether.
3. Forced to flee their homes

A child uprooted from home – whether a refugee, a migrant or internally displaced – is a child first and foremost. And every child has the right to an education. Some children never return to school. in 2016 only 60% of refugee children were enrolled in primary education and 23% in secondary school. Many of the schools the children do attend are makeshift ones in camps.
4. Disabilities

Much social and cultural discrimination remains around disability. Children with disabilities are more likely to miss out on school than other children. An estimated one in three out-of-school children have a disability. Throughout Africa, less than 10% of children with a disability are in primary education.
5. Child marriage

Early marriage and pregnancy often leads to dropouts and girls being banned from school. Children who do return may face bullying. An average of 40,000 children and young women under the age of 18 are married every day. More than 60% of child brides in developing countries have no formal education.
