UNESCO<\/a> data shows that sub-Saharan Africa remains the region with the most children and youth out of school, with a total of 98 million children.<\/p>\n

The region with the second highest out-of-school population is Central and Southern Asia, with 85 million. The data per country is available in interactive visualizations on the VIEW website.<\/p>\n

The data shows that 244 million children and youth between the ages of 6 and 18 worldwide are still out of school.<\/p>\n

Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO Director-General, calls for collective mobilization to ensure that the right of every child to access quality education is respected.<\/p>\n

“Education is a right and we must do everything to ensure that this right is respected for every child, ” Azoulay said<\/p>\n

In view of these results, the objective of quality education for all by 2030, set by the United Nations, risks not being achieved. We need a global mobilization to place education at the top of the international agenda.<\/p>\n

The new UNESCO estimates confirm that the difference in the rate of girls and boys out of school has closed worldwide. The gaps of 2.5 percentage points among primary school age children worldwide and of 3.9 percentage points among upper secondary school age youth in 2000 have been reduced to zero \u2013 however, regional disparities persist.<\/p>\n

Multiple data sources \u2013 including information from surveys and censuses \u2013 have been cross-referenced by UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) and the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report experts, in order that the figures reflect reality as closely as possible.<\/p>\n

It is the first time that this methodology, previously used to estimate flagship health indicators, has been used in education, marking a significant improvement in the robustness of the estimates.<\/p>\n

Important data gaps have been filled in countries that have large out of school numbers but where no administrative data of good quality has been available for over a decade, such as Nigeria which has an estimated 20.2 million children and youth out of school, Ethiopia (10.5 million), the Democratic Republic of Congo (5.9 million) and Kenya (1.8 million).<\/p>\n

With UNESCO\u2019s help, 90% of countries have now set national benchmarks to assess progress towards quality education for all by 2030, including on out-of-school rates.<\/p>\n
