The Situation
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, in the Philippines, there are about 5 million at-risk young adults with majority of whom are out-of-school youth. Not being able to receive proper education then further hinders them from improving their current situation. It has been found that when one child in the family gets a college degree, poverty incidence drops from 41.7% to 2.4%. This goes to show how big of a role education can play in these young adults’ lives.
