Malnutrition is One of the Causes of Illiteracy
On a worldwide level, the disparity in access to education is extremely large; the gap between the rich and poor nations is growing, especially in the area of education. The economic crisis taking place has consequences not only on the food crisis and the financial market, but it has also a serious impact on the formation of the youth of developing countries. Large investments and efficient policies are needed in order to rescue the millions of children in the world who suffer illiteracy and lack of schooling.
