=International Analysis=

Children worldwide face both problems unique to their country's educational system as well as a combination of the problems seen in the United States and India. Discrimination and disparity towards girls/women prevents them from receiving sufficient education. In some cases, females receive no education at all. In many countries, families and parents of children see little value in the education system and do not realize that a good education can provide great rewards in the long term. Many children end up doing manual labor jobs at minimum wage, working in child labor, or even relying on petty crime. Higher education is available only to the elite in many areas, and some children face education deprivation as early as at the primary school level. Worldwide, students are learning in system that are insufficiently funded, overcrowded, and lacking in teachers and resources.
