- UNESCO released the report “Right to Education: Past, Present and Future”.
- The report urges modernising the global legal framework for the right to education.
- Modernisation is needed to address inequalities caused by climate change, conflicts, and rapid technological change.
- Since the 1960 Convention against Discrimination in Education, free primary schooling coverage rose from 56% in 2000 to 82% in countries today.
- Completion rates increased from 77% to 88%.
- Gender parity in schooling is nearly achieved. Higher education enrolment grew from 100 million students in 2000 to 264 million, including significant growth in the least developed countries.
- Despite progress, 272 million children drop out prematurely.
- 762 million adults remain illiterate (two-thirds are women), and in some low-income countries, up to 70% of ten-year-olds cannot read a simple sentence.
- Lifelong learning is essential for adults and older workers, with countries like France, Singapore, Australia, and Morocco implementing vocational and skills-development programs.
