This fact sheet presents the latest UIS data on education available as of September 2019.


Three years after the adoption of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) and the promise to provide universal primary and secondary education, there has been no progress in reducing the global number of out-of-school children, adolescents and youth. This fact sheet by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) highlights the most recent statistics on trends at the global and regional levels, based on a revised calculation method that provides more precise estimates of the out-of-school population.
