This World Bank clip highlights the low level of education in Niger, and the impact of Learning Improvement for Results in Education in boosting literacy.

However, at it's core is a simple message - education is an essential part of development, especially in one of the world's poorest nations, Niger.

In Niger, 99% of 10-year-olds cannot read or understand a short story and more than half of children between the ages of 7 and 12 are not in school due to a lack of facilities and resources.
