According to the United Nations Development Program, there are 43 million children in sub-Saharan Africa who are unable to attend school–just over a third of the 115 million of children around the world who are out of school. Many millions more struggle to get an education under trying conditions: overworked teachers, enormous classes, inadequate buildings. The adoption of universal education programs has led to an increase in the number of African children in school, but many problems remain. Source: Inter Press Service
