The analysis coincides with the meeting of the Ministers of Education at the World Forum on Education in view of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. "In Italy less than 20% of public resources for education are destined for the children of the poorest families and more than 20% for those of the wealthiest families. Educational poverty affects the entire life of children and young people; investing in the quality of education it means tackling the root causes of poverty with enormous benefits for the whole country system, "said Francesco Samengo, President of UnicefItalia.
