La educación permite la movilidad socioeconómica ascendente y es clave para salir de la pobreza. Durante la última década, se consiguieron grandes avances a la hora de ampliar el acceso a la educación y las tasas de matriculación en las escuelas en todos los niveles, especialmente para las niñas. No obstante, alrededor de 260 millones de niños aún estaban fuera de la escuela en 2018; cerca de una quinta parte de la población mundial de ese grupo de edad. Además, más de la mitad de todos los niños y adolescentes de todo el mundo no están alcanzando los estándares mínimos de competencia en lectura y matemáticas.
