The cost of quality education has surged, impacting access far more than price. According to the World Bank, 53% of children globally face learning poverty, particularly in lower and low-income countries. UNESCO estimated the financial toll on the global economy to be $10 trillion by 2024. Key barriers to access include geographical distance, insufficient funding, and a shortage of qualified educators. Remote learning and AI offers potential solutions, yet addressing these fundamental barriers is crucial for enabling universal access to quality education, particularly in underserved areas.
Quality education is increasingly unaffordable, primarily due to access issues, with 53% of children facing learning poverty globally, significantly impacting economic productivity.
Geographical distance remains a critical barrier to education, particularly in rural areas, limiting access to quality education and forcing families to accept substandard options.
Financial constraints also play a huge role, as many families struggle with not just tuition fees, but also the costs associated with transportation and supplies.
While technology and AI can enhance educational access, the lack of qualified educators persists as a major obstacle, particularly in underserved regions.
