"According to UNESCO (and its 2025 SDG 4 Scorecard), about 272 million children and youth globally are out of school (i.e., not enrolled at any level: primary, secondary, or upper secondary). And educating them is much less expensive than sending rockets to space, with a higher ROI if you consider the long-term social, economic, and human benefits. Every additional year of schooling increases lifetime earnings by an average of 9-10%, reduces child mortality, and equips individuals to contribute to society in transformative ways."
"Around 617 million children and adolescents worldwide are not achieving minimum proficiency in reading and mathematics, according to UNESCO. This is the silent crisis of undereducation; enrollment alone is not enough. A school that exists without effective learning is a building without light. Here's where the learning industry can and must intervene. Technology, innovative curricula, and new pedagogical approaches are no longer futuristic ideas; they are tools that can be deployed today to radically expand access and improve outcomes."
About 272 million children and youth globally are out of school across primary to upper secondary levels. Educating these children costs far less than space missions and yields higher long-term social, economic, and human returns. Every additional year of schooling raises lifetime earnings by about 9–10%, reduces child mortality, and enables transformative societal contributions. Trillions spent on high-profile scientific endeavors reach only a fraction of the population while millions lack educational opportunity. Around 617 million children and adolescents in school fail to achieve minimum reading and mathematics proficiency. Enrollment without effective learning is compared to a building without light. Technology, innovative curricula, and new pedagogies can expand access and improve outcomes.
