Datawatch: global children out of primary school- progress has stalled
The number of children of primary school age not enrolled in school has halved since the 1970s to about 60 m. The fall was fastest among girls who made up for about two third of the number in the 1980s to just over half of the children in the latest data. Most of the children are in Sub-Saharan Africa.
However, progress has stalled. While access to education expanded considerably at the beginning of the 2000s, there has been little or no change in the global number of out-of-school children since 2007. The global primary out-of-school rate has stagnated at around 9% for the past seven years.
