ACCEDES-El acceso y éxito académico de colectivos vulnerables en entornos de riesgo en Latinoamérica

Each year the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) publishes its
Global Education Digest (GED) presenting the latest education statistics worldwide. These data are also featured in key reports produced by partner organizations, such as the EFA Global Monitoring Report, State of the World’s Children, World Development Indicators, World Development Report, Human Development Reportand many others.
The Digest offers particular value by presenting a wide range of education statistics – from early childhood learning programmes to adult literacy – and by highlighting a special theme, which is analysed based on indicators drawn from the statistical tables of the report. This current edition of the Digest examines key issues and indicators related to children’s progression through schooling, such as grade repetition, early school leaving and levels of learning achievement in primary and lower secondary education. As access to primary and secondary education continues to increase globally, there is growing interest in developing benchmarks and instituting comparisons that can improve the functioning and efficiency of education systems everywhere.
