ExchangeEveryDay Past Issues

• In India, 25% of teachers in government-run schools are away on any given day; and of those present, only half were actually teaching when researchers made spot checks.  Teacher absenteeism rates are around 20% in rural Kenya, 27% in Uganda, and 14% in Ecuador.
• The numbers of enrolled school-age children dropped by 33 million in 2007 compared with 1999.  About 15 million of that fall came in India alone (although UNESCO says statistics may understate the problem by up to 30%).  In countries like Liberia and Nigeria, the numbers have hardly budged since 1999.  Of the 72 million children still outside school, 45% are in sub-Saharan Africa.
• In more than one-third of the countries followed, more than 30% of young adults have fewer than four years of schooling — 19 of these countries are in Africa; the remaining three are Guatemala, Pakistan, and Nicaragua.
