The global number of children not attending school has declined by nearly 40% since 2000

Note: Some definitions, though this varies by country and there does not appear to be a universally agreed-upon definition. Primary school = roughly 5 to 10 years old = elementary school Lower-secondary = roughly 11 to 14 years old = middle school Upper-secondary = roughly 14 to 18 years old = high school

"The chart shows the global number of children and adolescents who are not in school across primary and secondary education.

According to the most recent UNESCO data, this number has fallen from 390 million in 2000 to 244 million in 2023. That’s nearly a 40% reduction. The global population of children has grown during this time, making the decrease in out-of-school children even more significant.

Many more children are getting an opportunity to learn now than 20 years ago, but progress has stagnated in the last five years. [Note: A significant amount of that no doubt due to the pandemic.]

Historically, more girls than boys were out of school, but this gap has nearly closed. Unfortunately, the global aggregate data split by gender has not been updated by UNESCO since 2019. This makes it hard to track recent progress between boys and girls."

“Over the past 50 years public education has mutated into a racket for the racial bean counters who hate the standardized tests that expose how little learning is taking place and prefer to attack America as a whole instead of recognizing the real problem is what happens—and does not—at home with parents who have no clue about how to parent a child. Every day this sad charade continues, more misery is being created, more anger is being born, and more futures are being destroyed.”

Heal before having children, so your children don't have to heal from having you as a parent.
