Learning Poverty is unacceptably high. In low- and middle-income countries, more than half the children cannot read and understand a short ageappropriate text by the end of primary school. This learning crisis threatens countries' efforts to build human capital and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), undermining sustainable growth and poverty reduction. It is crucial for countries, with support of development partners including the World Bank, to aim to fully eliminate learning poverty, and make sure that every child can read.
