Despite vast investments, there are still hundreds of millions of people living without access to the most basic services, with the gaps between the poorest families and the rest growing deeper, affecting every sector, hindering development and prosperity. However, education is the most promising sector for development., yet still with hundreds of millions of children in sub-Saharan Africa not going to school the chances of development decreases. According to a special UNESCO report, 258 million African children are not going to school, the highest rate in the world. 20% of children between ages 6 and 11, and one-third between 12 and 14 are out of school. Worse still, between ages 15 and 17, 60% of children are not in school. On the other hand, there is concern over the quality of teaching.
