Children in remote villages face daunting odds just to get a basic education. They attend single-room schools often mixed in with students from other grades. Buildings are sometimes unsafe and lead to health problems. Undertrained teachers lack basic supplies like books and pencils. Eventually, parents lose hope, learning is not achieved, and children quit school. Youth take informal sector jobs with no future. Unable to survive on $1/day, many migrate north in search of livelihoods.
