Global literacy gaps among youth reveal urgent need for measurable education action

Nearly half of the world's teenagers cannot read with comprehension. That is not a statistic; it is a generational failure of measurable education action. When a young person cannot parse a sentence, their capacity to engage with global challenges, ocean health, climate indicators, or any science, is fundamentally compromised.
