Schoolgirls eat their free mid-day meal, distributed by a government-run primary school, in New Delhi July 5, 2013. In an incident on July 16, 2013, twenty-five Indian children from a school in Mashrakh village in the district of Chapra died and dozens needed hospital treatment after apparently being poisoned by a school meal, provided under the Mid-Day Meal Scheme, sparking violent protests and angry allegations of blame. Neither the children nor the school pictured in this photograph were involved in Tuesday's poisoning incident.

Teacher Reginald Sikhwari poses for a picture with his class of grade 11 students at Sekano-Ntoane school in Soweto, South Africa, September 17, 2015. 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.

School children attend class at Waterstone College, a private school managed by Curro in the south of Johannesburg July 22, 2015. South African private education group Advtech rejected a takeover offer from its bigger rival Curro Holdings, saying on Tuesday the proposal contained "unacceptable pre-conditions". Advtech's shares fell more than 7 percent shortly after the announcement that it had rejected Curro's bid, but pared losses to close down 2.93 percent at 11.60 rand. The shares are up about 30 percent so far this year. Curro's stock shed 0.83 percent to close on 11.70 rand. REUTERS/Siphiwe Sibeko - GF10000166738
