Teacher Moulay Ismael Lamrani poses for a picture with his class in the Oudaya primary school in Rabat, September 15, 2015, at the start of the new school year in Morocco. Nearly three years after Taliban gunmen shot Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai, the teenage activist last week urged world leaders gathered in New York to help millions more children go to school. World Teachers' Day falls on 5 October, a Unesco initiative highlighting the work of educators struggling to teach children amid intimidation in Pakistan, conflict in Syria or poverty in Vietnam. Even so, there have been some improvements: the number of children not attending primary school has plummeted to an estimated 57 million worldwide in 2015, the U.N. says, down from 100 million 15 years ago. Reuters photographers have documented learning around the world, from well-resourced schools to pupils crammed into corridors in the Philippines, on boats in Brazil or in crowded classrooms in Burundi.

Four-year old Tom (R) and his six-year old sister Lisa from Offenbach show Serbian refugee Dragan (2nd L) and his sister Tamara (L) how to play on the climbing frame at a refugee camp in Hanau, Germany, August 18, 2015. Tom and Lisa learned from her mother that a lot of refugees come to Germany and most of them, especially the children, don't have much clothes or toys to play with. The two German youngsters than decided to visit the refugee camp to donate from their own wardrobe and toys and "make friends" with the kids from abroad. REUTERS/Kai Pfaffenbach - GF10000175689
