A new report from the United Nations says more than 250 million children of primary school age cannot reador write. It said they could also not do basic mathematics. The report said that 120 million children havespent little or no time in school. The researchers said children not going to school means countries lose money. Each year, governments lose up to $130 billion. Vibeke Jensen, a U.N. spokeswoman, said there was aglobal "learning crisis". She said this was because there were not enough well-trained teachers in poor areas. She said that in a third of countries, 75 per cent of primary school teachers do not have enough training. She added: "The issue now is to put the focus on quality."

聯(lián)合國一項新的研究表明有超過2億5000萬小學年齡兒童不會讀寫。人們稱他們不會基本的算數(shù)。報道稱有1億2000萬人沒有或是很少上學。研究人員表明孩子不上學將對國家造成經(jīng)濟損失。每年，政府的損失達到了1300億美金。聯(lián)合國發(fā)言人詹森認為全球陷入了“學習危機”當中。她認為這是由于在貧困地區(qū)缺乏高素質(zhì)教師所造成的。她說在三分之一的國家里，有75%的小學老師沒有接受過充分的培訓。她補充道：“目前的問題是要將重點放在質(zhì)量上。”

The report said that most of those not going to school were girls. It said it was important that developing countries educate girls. Sending girls to school can increase a country's wealth by 25 per cent over 40 years. The report said that almost two-thirds (66%) of girls in Arab countries and sub-Saharan Africa would never go to school. In Yemen, just 36 per cent of young women are literate. The Reuters news agency said: "If current trends continue, the poorest part of the young female population in developing countries won't achieve literacy until 2072" There was some good news. In Laos, Rwanda and Vietnam, the number of children not going to school fell by 85 per cent in the last five years.

研究認為在不上學的孩子中，大多是女孩。人們認為讓女孩在發(fā)展中國家接受教育是非常重要的。在過去的40年中，讓女孩接受教育將增家國家25%的財富。報道稱在阿拉伯國家和撒哈拉以南的非洲國家，將近三分之二（66%）的女孩從沒有接受過教育。在也門，年輕女性的識字率只有36%。路透社稱：“如果這樣的趨勢繼續(xù)的話，2072年之前，發(fā)展中國家最貧困地區(qū)的女性仍將不會識字。但是還有好消息。過去5年中，老撾、越南和盧旺達，兒童不接受教育的人數(shù)減少了85%。
