1.2.- Secondary Education in numbers
1.-________________________________________
More than one million teenagers go to secondary school in our Province. Secondary
Education is now a right for all the teenagers in Argentina but still some young people are
not going to school.
2.-_________________________________________
Unfortunately, this is also happening in other parts of the world. UNICEF reports say that
there are big contrasts in different parts of the world. For example, in Europe more than
90 % of students finish school. In other continents, the situation is different. In some parts
of Africa only 20% of young people go to secondary school.
3.-________________________________________
The situation is worse if you compare boys and girls. In some parts of the world they do
not consider education important for a girl. For example, in Yemen, every 100 boys going
to school there are only 41 girls in the same situation.
4.-________________________________________

to achieve their full potential, and for nations to advance in social and economic
