Education holds the key to a sustainable response to malaria. The probability of dying from malaria is inversely related to income and education. A clustering of risk factors, including low education increases people's vulnerability to malaria and may be as important as the exposure itself. This makes quality schooling and socioeconomic development critical components of the global effort to defeat the disease.
