The award-winning documentary Time for School returns to Public Television in the United States on Wednesday, September 2 at 9 PM Eastern time with visits to classrooms in seven countries, including the largest slum in Nairobi, Kenya. Statistics provided by the filmmaker are chilling: more than a hundred million children are currently out of school, two-thirds are girls, and one in four children does not complete five years of basic education. As a result there are nearly one billion illiterate adults - one-sixth of the world's population.
