New data from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics confirm the need for accelerated efforts to get every child in school and learning
Les nouvelles données sur les enfants non scolarisés dans le monde révèlent que peu de progrès, voire aucun, ont été réalisés en plus de dix ans : environ 258 millions d’enfants, d’adolescents et de jeunes étaient non scolarisés en 2018, soit près d’un sixième de la population mondiale de cette tranche d’âge. Publiées par l’Institut de statistique de l’UNESCO (ISU), les données renforcent les inquiétudes quant aux perspectives d’atteindre les cibles mondiales d’éducation d’ici 2030.
This year’s International Literacy Day celebrates multilingual education
It is your very first day at school. You’re excited. Perhaps even a little nervous? What is this special day going to bring? Above all, what will you learn?

Data users the world over have a unique opportunity to show their support for SDG 4 Indicator 4.1.1: the proportion of children and young people achieving at least a minimum proficiency level in reading and mathematics.
As the official data source for SDG 4, the UIS is working with countries and partners to build consensus around the measurement agenda, while developing the indicators, standards and tools needed to monitor progress and help countries improve the quality and use of their data in the pursuit of their development goals.
The UIS is bringing together stakeholders from across the international education community through two flagship initiatives that will be meeting in September.
It is time for all donor countries to invest more heavily in education data. This matters because we can’t solve a problem we don’t understand. And it is only too clear that we have some big problems that must be solved right away, with 617 million children and adolescents who are not reaching even minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics, and 262 million children – one in every five – who are out of school and half of whom are girls.
There is increasing recognition that data—relevant and reliable data—are central to achieving Agenda 2030 and advancing the realisation of human rights. We need data to inform laws and policies, improve decision-making, ensure sufficient resource allocation, monitor progress and identify gaps, and ensure accountability. However, more data alone will not do the job. We need more of the right kinds of data collected in the right kinds of ways.
Un tiers du chemin jusqu’à l’échéance 2030 des Objectifs de développement durable a été parcouru. Pourtant, les nouvelles projections établies par l’Institut de statistique de l’UNESCO (ISU) et le Rapport mondial de suivi sur l’éducation pour le Forum politique de haut niveau de l’ONU indiquent que le monde ne réussira pas à tenir ses engagements éducatifs sans une accélération rapide des progrès. En 2030, alors que tous les enfants devraient être scolarisés, un enfant de 6 à 17 ans sur six restera exclu.
The World Bank and the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) announced today a new partnership to help countries strengthen their learning assessment systems, better monitor what students are learning in internationally-comparable ways and improve the breadth and quality of global data on education.
Without a shift from ‘business as usual’, the world will miss its goal of a quality education for all by 2030, according to our first-ever projections on progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4).
