We know there are many different ways to learn but they don't all happen in the type of classroom you might be used to. These snapshots show just how different lessons can be from school to school.

Teachers put a lot of thinking in how to arrange their classroom. The perfect set-up can provide a better learning environment. However, it's clear there are a number of schools in the world have limited resources when providing for their students.

Even worse is the fact that worldwide there are 58 million children out of school without the opportunity to get their gears turning in a classroom.

You can help. 

Join Global Citizen in keeping the momentum going. We’re calling on the Korean Foreign Ministry of Affairs to continue Korea's  support for education by increasing their commitment  through the Global Partnership for Education.
