Seventeen-year-old Yolanda goes to a rural school in the Eastern Cape in South Africa. But the school has too few working toilets, not enough textbooks, and not enough teachers. Sometimes there are as many as 60 children in a class. She wants to know why so few children in South Africa can read and write properly. She has spoken to other 17-year-olds, teachers, academics and a government official to try to find out what needs to be done to help South Africa meet the United Nations sustainable development goal on education by 2030.
