Plan’s #10DaysToAct initiative runs from 16-26 June 2014, when young people from across Africa will call on governments across the world to deliver on their commitments to safe, quality education and raise their domestic spend on education to 20 per cent
In Africa, girls often miss school because of household chores, lack of financial means, teen pregnancy and other barriers. Even if they are at school, girls and boys face a lack of school materials, lack of money to buy uniform and books, and "unofficial" school fees imposed by individual schools or teachers.
