Tonight PBS’s “Wide Angle” series will begin airing part 3 of the program Time for School. A 12-year documentary project on global education, Time for School has been following a group of students in Afghanistan, Benin, Brazil, India, Japan, Kenya and Romania since they first entered in 2002.

According to PBS,

These children’s stories put a human face on the shocking fact that more than 75 million children are currently out of school; of these, two thirds are girls. One in four children in developing countries does not complete five years of basic education, and there are nearly one billion illiterate adults — one-sixth of the world’s people. WIDE ANGLE plans to continue revisiting all the children, and their peers and families, through 2015, the year they should graduate — and, not coincidentally, the U.N.’s target date for achieving universal education, a Millennium Development goal endorsed by all 191 members of the United Nations.
