Situation analysis of out-of-school children in nine southeast Asian countries Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok In a world that continually aspires for every child and youth to have access to education, there are still large numbers of out-of-school children (OOSC) who are yet to claim their right to basic education. In 2013, the number of children who are not in school, who have dropped out, and who have never been to school have risen to 124 million after seeing the numbers continuously drop for much of the first decade of the 21st century. In much of Southeast Asia, close to seven million children of both primary and lower secondary school-age find themselves in the same situation. In an effort to assist the countries in Southeast Asia to develop more robust policies and programmes for OOSC in their respective countries, this report was commissioned to map out the current legislations, policies, characteristics, and interventions on out-of-school children in nine countries across the region, which include Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam. Using a desk review of available and relevant secondary data, the study covered OOSC of primary and lower secondary school-age.

The best way to equip children and youth for the future is to place their learning at the center. The 2018 WDR explores four main themes: 1) education’s promise; 2) the need to shine a light on learning; 3) how to make schools work for learners; and 4) how to make systems work for learning.

Languages in adult literacy: policies and practices during the 15 years of EFA (2000-2015) Year of publication: 2015 Author: Clinton Robinson Linguistic diversity characterises many countries with large literacy needs. Meeting these needs will require a multilingual approach based on learning initial literacy in the learner’s mother tongue, with other languages used subsequently. This paper identifies five major challenges in implementing multilingual programmes, and traces the international policy developments over the 15 years of the EFA period. Four case studies – Mexico, Morocco, Papua New Guinea and Senegal – illustrate a range of policies, showing differing approaches and levels of commitment in providing literacy acquisition based on the mother tongue. The paper concludes with six policy orientations to guide action as part of the post- 2015 agenda.
