EFA Goal 2: Inequalities in primary school attainment remain 58 million children are out of primary school globally of which 17 million are in the Asia and Pacific region 100 million children will not complete primary school in 2015. The gaps in attainment between the poorer and the richer households have increased in some countries. • • The proportion of out-of-school children in conflict- affected countries increased from 30% to 36% from 1999 to 2012. Children in conflict-affected countries are more than twice as likely , and adolescents two-thirds more • likely , to be out of school than in non-conflict affected countries. Young women are almost 90 per cent more likely to be out of secondary school in conflict affected- • countries than elsewhere.

EFA Goal 2: Access improved, but many do not complete the full cycle In South and West Asia, almost 40% of children do not reach the last grade of primary education Survival rate to the last grade of primary education (2011) 97 98 100 93 86 90 75 75 80 64 64 70 60 50 1999 2012 40 30 20 10 0 World Central Asia East and Southeast Asia South and West Asia 20

HRH RH P Princess ss Sirindhor orn “…it would not be enough to work in just primary schools and pre-schools, because the brain of a person is formed just before that. We should try to target at even younger children. It would be better if we could help pregnant women and nursing mothers.” (The 60 th Anniversary of UNESCO ‘Including the Excluded: Building on UNESCO’s First 60 Years.’ Bangkok, Thailand, 25 November 2005)
