Following major improvements between 2000 and 2007, global progress has stalled both in enrolment and the number of out-of-school children. The stall in progress since 2007 is largely due to the insufficient capacity of many education systems around the world to meet the needs of the most disadvantaged children, including those from the poorest households or ethnic minorities, girls, children with disabilities, child labourers, and children living in countries affected by conflict. In 2012, almost 58 million primary schoolage children and about 63 million adolescents were out of school, half of them in conflict affected countries. Children who are in school are generally not making sufficient progress in learning. Of the around 650 million children of primary school age, as many as 250 million children are not learning basic skills in reading and writing, although over half of them have spent at least four years in school. Glaring disparities in access to education based on gender, disability, ethnicity, income level and geographic location remain in many countries.
