Gifting education

Even though literacy figures have increased in recent years, India still has the largest number of uneducated children of any country in the world – two-thirds of whom are girls. Just under 40% of the country is illiterate with 37% of all primary school children dropping out before Standard 5. Government reports indicate that some 60 million children between the ages of 6-14 do not attend school at all.
