Monitoring SDG 4: Equity and inclusion
Many circumstances, such as wealth, gender, ethnicity and location, over which people have little control, play an important role in shaping people’s opportunities for education and life.,
Gender inequality remains a key concern, even if understanding the wide range of challenges at different levels and in different places requires nuance. Access of the poorest girls to school remains an acute problem, even if at the global level there have now been more boys deprived of a basic education than girls since 2009.
Language barriers pose significant challenges in education. Children learning in a language different from their mother-tongue are 30% less likely to achieve minimum proficiency in reading by the end of primary school
