This is your chance to get creative. The World Bank Group and the Financial Times are organizing the second joint global blog/essay writing competition. This competition builds on the World Bank Group’s Human Capital Project and its Report on Ending Learning Poverty.

If you can read this, then you are already doing better than 53% of children in low- and middle-income countries, who can’t read a simple text by age 10. Being able to read is fundamental for children to be able to learn other subjects like science and history. It also creates opportunities and opens more doors for them as they get older.

What can be done to help children learn to read by the time they are 10 years old? They want to hear from you!

You can tell them by answering one of these two questions:

The World Bank Group and the Financial Times are looking for your most inventive ideas, high quality writing, and innovative solutions to help more children learn to read. They want your creativity.

You could win a chance at being published in the Financial Times and the World Bank Blogs, and attending, the World Bank Group/IMF Spring Meetings in Washington D.C. in April 2020, with your expenses covered.
