One in three children and young people between five and 17 years old living in countries affected by conflict or disaster – 104 million – are not in school, a figure that accounts for more than a third of the global out-of-school population, according to a new UNICEF report. In total, 303 million five to 17 year-olds are out of school worldwide.
The report notes one in five young people aged 15 to 17 years old living in countries affected by conflict or disaster have never entered any school, and two in five have never completed primary school.
The report named A future stolen: young and out-of-school looks at the education situation of children and young people from pre-primary to upper secondary age across all countries, including those affected by humanitarian emergencies.
With less than four per cent of global humanitarian appeals dedicated to education, the report calls for more investment in quality education where children and young people can learn in a safe environment, from pre-primary to upper-secondary, in countries affected by complex humanitarian emergencies and protracted crises.
The report – launched ahead of the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly – looks at the global situation of out-of-school children and young people, also highlighting that across the world, more than half of out-of-school children of primary-school age live in countries affected by emergencies.
It also notes that poverty remains the most significant barrier to education globally with the poorest primary school age children 4 times more likely to be out of school compared to their peers from the richest households.
By current trends, the number of ten to 19 year-olds will rise to more than 1.3 billion by 2030, an increase of eight per cent, the report says. Providing this future workforce with quality education and better employment prospects will yield greater economic and social dividends.
