Inequity and exclusion
High rates of poverty, gender inequality, and exclusion prevent millions from accessing quality education. The pandemic further highlighted these inequities
Inequity and exclusion in education are significant issues that impact the quality of learning and the opportunities available to students.
Efforts to promote inclusivity in education involve not just increasing access to schools but also ensuring that the learning environment is supportive and accommodating for all students. This includes addressing mental health needs, providing support for students with disabilities, and creating a culturally responsive curriculum.

In contexts of high inequality, good quality and equitable education is key to the inclusive, peaceful, and sustained development of a society and a country. Ensuring the participation of marginalized groups and individuals in broader development processes helps reduce social inequalities.
Inadequate policies
Many decision-makers do not implement evidence-based or pro-equity policies, which are essential for building solid educational foundations.
Many countries do not have a proper legal framework for free and compulsory pre-primary education. This early stage is crucial for emotional and cognitive development.
n many regions, teachers lack the necessary training to provide high-quality education. For example, in Sub-Saharan Africa, the percentage of trained teachers has decreased over the years.

Insufficient Teacher Training: There is often a shortage of well-trained teachers, especially in STEM subjects. In some regions, the percentage of trained teachers has been declining.
Inequitable Resource Distribution: Resources are often unevenly distributed based on geography, income, and race, leading to significant disparities in educational quality.
Inadequate Policy Implementation: Decision-makers sometimes fail to implement evidence-based or pro-equity policies, which are essential for building solid educational foundations.
Barriers to Access: Physical barriers, gender disparities, and lack of inclusion for students with disabilities also hinder access to quality education.
Learning Crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing problems, leading to increased learning poverty. In low- and middle-income countries, many children cannot read and understand basic texts by age 10
Approximately 70% of 10-year-olds in low- and middle-income countries cannot read and understand a simple text1. This is a basic measure of quality education, and the high percentage indicates a severe problem
These include inadequate funding, socioeconomic factors, and quality of teachers. Another contributing factor is that many education systems monitor educational quality using inadequate indicators.
