The fourth United Nations Sustainable Development Goal is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:43,000
COVID-19 has wiped out 20 years of educational gains. An additional 101 million, or 9% of children in grades 1 through 8, fell below minimal reading proficiency levels in 2020.

Participation in organized pre-primary learning increased from 65% in 2010 to 73% in 2019. Now many young people are extremely reliant on caregivers at home.

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Slow progress in school completion is likely to get worse. School completion rates worldwide have fallen from 82% in 2010 to 85% in 2019 in primary.

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:48,000
And in secondary, since 2010, at 46% to 53% in 2019.

00:01:48,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Basic school infrastructure to build back better is lacking in many countries. Proportions of schools and LDCs with basic infrastructure, 56% drinking water, 33% electricity, and 40% handwashing facilities.
