Children who are excluded from education often face multiple and overlapping disadvantages. Data produced by the Global Initiative on Out-of-School Children give us a clearer picture of why they are out of school.

Choose from the list of participating countries to see what is holding these children back.

The Global Initiative on Out-of-School Children, a partnership between the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and UNICEF, aims to make sustainable reductions in the number of children who are out of school.
