Universal Education Access
$1 MILLION (Prize amount to be confirmed. Announcement expected for next year)
Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, morals, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include teaching, training, storytelling, discussion and directed research. Formal education is commonly divided formally into such stages as preschool or kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and then college, university, or apprenticeship.
A right to education has been recognized by some governments and the United Nations. In most regions, education is compulsory up to a certain age. Despite this we still don`t have universal education for all population. While all the above is proper and achievable it cannot work without the most importante component, access to education.
Due to many factors, lack of schools or trained quality teachers a major part of the population , mainly in developing countries , don`t have access to education despite the laws that defines education as a universal right.
