Primary education
Every child has the right to a primary education. Primary education is typically designed for children aged 6 to 11. It plays an important role in reducing extreme poverty and promoting social change.

In 2019, roughly four out of every five children completed primary school. Furthermore, the number of out-of-school children has decreased by nearly 40% in the last two decades. However, 58 million primary school-aged children remain out of school. The majority of them come from low-income communities.

Data from the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) show that many children lack foundational reading and math skills. It means that providing a high-quality education to all children is a major challenge.
