On education, over 100 million children are not in school, 46 per cent of girls in poor countries have no access to primary education and more than one in four adults - two thirds are women - cannot read nor write. Universal primary education would cost $10 billion a year which is half of what Americans spend on ice cream. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural organization (UNESCO) reports that there are 137 million youths, aged 15 to 24, worldwide who are illiterate, 61 per cent of them women.
