In most systems of
formal education, students progress through a
series of schools: primary school, secondary
school, and possibly a university, vocational
school or a college or a seminary. There are
schools which are built to help these
less-fortunate students who cannot afford to
pursue tertiary education or even secondary
curriculum. Some of these are raised by the
virtue of non-government or any charitable
institutions. Government also offers programs
and courses that can help these students. In
home schooling and online schools, teaching and
learning take place outside of a traditional
school building. These institutions serve as an
opportunity for these less-fortunate students to
attain their basic right to education. There are
hundreds of non-government organizations who
offer educational as well as financial support
for these students.

founded in 1961, AED is an independent,
non-profit organization committed to solving

development, with a focus on improving

The Jerusalem Fund was founded in 1977. It
originally provided scholarships to Palestinian

over $4 million in aid and continuously support
students nowadays.

("NOW Foundation") an organization devoted to
furthering women's rights through education and

These institutions serve as an opportunity for
these less-fortunate students to attain their
basic right to education. They support schools
or even individuals to attain the right to be
educated. With the cooperation of these
non-government organizations, the rate of
illiteracy across the world is lessened.
