THE OUT OF SCHOOL CHILDREN INITIATIVE (OOSCI)

In 2018, 258.4 million children, adolescents and youth were out of school, a figure that represents one-sixth of the global population of this age group. The Out-of-School Children Initiative (OOSCI) was launched in 2010 by UNICEF and the UNESCO Institute for Statistics to reach these children. The goal of the initiative is to significantly and sustainably reduce the number of children who are out of school around the world by:

  1. Developing comprehensive profiles of excluded children using consistent and innova­tive statistical methods.
  2. Linking these profiles to the barriers that lead to exclusion.
  3. Identifying, promoting and implementing sound policies that address exclusion.
