A girl from the "Insurgentes de la Paz" (Peace Insurgents) school hangs up her school bag near an old bus turned into her classroom in the settlement of Pueblo Nuevo, Oaxaca September 1, 2009. The children receive classes in an old bus donated to the neighbourhood by a truck company after the other classrooms became too small for the 83 children at the school. Mexico, ridden with organized crime and drug gang violence, ranks poorly in education standards, which is holding back the country's economic growth and development according to analysts.

Children write notes from a makeshift black board at a school in Mwezeni village in South Africa's Eastern Cape Province in this picture taken June 5, 2012. The Eastern Cape, home to giants of the African National Congress like Nelson Mandela and Walter Sisulu who helped end apartheid and Thabo Mbeki, the nation's second democratically elected president, is a glaring example of the ruling party's failure to deliver its promise of a "better life for all". While thousands of schools wait each year for textbooks and many Eastern Cape children are forced to write on loose sheets, the ANC has produced copious reams of policy papers to be studied by about 3,000 delegates at next week's meeting.
