【答案解析】[听力原文] A new United Nations report says over two hundred million young people in developing countries have not completed primary school. The UN says almost one hundred thirty million are in school. But they cannot read or write. These are skills they need to escape from poverty. The report urges donors and governments to support ways for young people to get the skills they need for success. Educators say young people need at least a primary school education and some secondary school to get secure, good-paying jobs. But the report says that is not happening in most developing countries, including ones south of the Sahara Desert. It says about thirty three percent of young people in sub-Saharan Africa fail to complete the first few years of schooling. Millions more do not even go to secondary school. Pauline Rose is the director of the Education for All Global Monitoring Report. She says some schools in sub-Saharan Africa are failing to provide a bridge between school and work. She says this means that one in eight young people are unemployed. And one in four people earns very low wages. Ms. Rose says young people need strong skills in calculation and the ability to read and write, and knowing how to solve problems is more important than learning something in memory by repeating it. She says some groups are successful in teaching the skills necessary to operate a business. Some non-governmental organizations have been working to provide young people with training that gives them skills in managing their finances, in understanding how to use assets whether it's animals, cows for example, or other types of assets ... Pauline Rose says, "there are also opportunities to learn through distance education by television, computer or other methods, and we find in countries like Mexico and Namibia that large numbers of young people are reached through distance education systems."
