The UNESCO Institute of Statistics (UIS) has just issued a major release of education data – including 32 SDG 4 indicators and the updating of our global education database for the school year ending in 2017.
Please visit the UIS website for more. We would greatly appreciate your help in promoting the new data on your respective websites, social media channels, newsletters and other channels, including your partner networks.

New data from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) show that there are still about 262 million – or one out of every five – children, adolescents and youth between the ages of 6 and 17 out of school. The figure rises to one in three children out of school in low- and lower-middle-income countries.
