In sub-Saharan Africa, the percentage of qualified primary teachers has dropped from 70% in 2012 to just 64% in 2022. Across #Africa, 36% of primary teachers remain untrained. This shortage of trained educators directly impacts students’ #FoundationalLearning, limiting their potential and future opportunities. To ensure every child has access to quality education, we must invest in teacher training and support! ➡️ Explore more in the #2024GEMReport: https://lnkd.in/eTHkB9BY #BorntoLearn #FLEX2024 #UIS_UNESCO #SDG4 #EducationLeadership #LeadforLearning

Families in poorer countries are paying more out of pocket for education: In 2022, household contributions made up about 25.8% of education spending in low-income countries and over 43.9% in lower-middle-income countries, compared to just 19.6% in high-income countries. This burden highlights the urgent need for equitable #education funding.

Globally, public education spending as a share of GDP dropped from 4.4% in 2015 to 4% in 2022. This decline highlights the increasing pressure on education systems, which are already underfunded in many parts of the world. Investment in education is critical for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, and countries can and must reverse this trend.

There is growing excitement about the potential of social and emotional learning (SEL) programs to transform children’s education, especially in low- and middle-income countries. SEL can make learning more enjoyable, help children build resilience, and boost academic outcomes. However, much of this optimism has outpaced the evidence. 💡 Key insights from the field: 1. Be more specific about what SEL programs are: SEL programs often aim to improve well-being, academic learning, or resilience, but the approaches for each are quite different. Being clear about the specific goals can help sharpen program design and effectiveness. 2. Assess the added value of SEL programs: We need stronger research to separate the effects of SEL programs from other educational improvements. This is crucial for understanding SEL’s unique contribution to academic outcomes. A recent background paper from RTI International for the 2024 Spotlight Report, “Learning Counts”, emphasizes the need for a clearer, more focused model for SEL programs. Such a model would help establish which SEL approaches truly benefit students in diverse settings, making programs more intentional and sustainable. 👉 Explore more in the #WorldEducationBlog by Matthew Jukes & Julianne Norman, RTI International: https://bit.ly/4hMbbs3 #BorntoLearn #FLEX2024 #AFRICAFLEX20204 #AfricaEducation

In #Africa, 7 in 10 children complete primary school on time, and 8 in 10 complete eventually. This shows both progress and ongoing challenges in education access and completion. However, 4 in 10 students are at least two years older than the expected age for their grade, with boys being 7 percentage points more likely to be overage than girls. These statistics underscore the need for targeted efforts to support timely and uninterrupted education across Africa. Let's close these gaps and support #FoundationalLearning for all! ➡️ Explore more: https://lnkd.in/epBsbR8b #BornToLearn #FLEX2024 #UIS_UNESCO #SDG4 #AFRICAFLEX20204 #EducationLeadership #AfricaEducation

📊 In #Africa, the number of primary-age children out of school has fluctuated over the past 2 decades. In 2000, 46 million children were out of school, a figure that dropped to 37 million by 2012. However, this progress has been reversed in recent years, with the number rising to 41 million in 2023 — accounting for 51% of the world’s out-of-school children. This data is a stark reminder of the challenges in achieving universal education across the continent. Renewed efforts are essential to provide quality education for every child in Africa, ensuring no one is left behind. ➡️ Learn more: https://lnkd.in/epBsbR8b #BorntoLearn #FLEX2024 #UIS_UNESCO #AFRICAFLEX20204 #EducationLeadership #FoundationalLearning #AfricaEducation
