Education in Niger
10th June 2021
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.
