Education for all

Obtaining a quality education is the foundation to creating sustainable development. How can we make sure more children have access to equal education? How can we make sure that our education prepares us for the future, and that we ensure life-long learning? How can technology help us to make education and training available to vulnerable populations?

• Before the coronavirus crisis, projections showed that more than 200 million children would be out of school, and only 60 per cent of young people would be completing upper secondary education in 2030.
• Before the coronavirus crisis, the proportion of children and youth out of primary and secondary school had declined from 26 per cent in 2000 to 19 per cent in 2010 and 17 per cent in 2018.
• More than half of children that have not enrolled in school live in sub-Saharan Africa, and more than 85 per cent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are not learning the minimum
