What This Out-of-School Figure Means
This game compares the share of primary-school-age children who are out of school.
- The figure is about non-attendance at primary-school age, not about whether children ever appear in a classroom later.
- It captures a blunt exclusion threshold, not how much learning happens inside the schools that do exist.
- Enrollment campaigns sound different when you count the children still outside the building.
School absence looks like a personal story until it repeats at national scale.
