Key Results for 2025
- Across 90 countries, 27.8 million out-of-school children, 51 percent girls were supported with education, for a total of 178 million across 132 countries from 2022 to 2025
- 57 per cent of countries had inclusive and gender‑responsive education systems as of 2025
- More than 13.6 million children across 71 countries accessed education through digital platforms (such as the Learning Passport)
- 14 governments produced accessible digital textbooks using open-source, AI-powered tools provided by UNICEF, reaching nearly 2 million children
Throughout 2021, UNICEF took a strong stand to demand that Govemments reopen schools for in-person learning and supported countries to ensure children could learn even during school closures. Specifically, the organization helped nearly 49 million out-of-school children to access education, including 6.4 million children on the move and 31.7 million children in humanitarian settings. UNICEF also strengthened COVID-19 prevention in schools by delivering hygiene and sanitation kits for infection prevention and control to 2,474 schools and learning spaces.

Please send a kind donation today to provide children with quality education that can transform their lives.
All children have the right to go to school and learn, regardless of who they are, where they live or how much money their family has. We believe that now is not the time to divert national funding for education. Rather, governments need to invest in education and join forces to bridge the digital divide. If the global community works together, we can connect 3.5 billion children and young people to the internet by 2030 — ensuring every child, everywhere, can learn online. UNICEF and partners will continue to work together to keep children connected and learning.
