This indicator reflects the proportion of children of primary school age who are unregistered and not actively participating in either primary or secondary education. Importantly, it encompasses those within the official age range who are engaged in preprimary educational programs, thereby classifying them as out of the formal schooling system. This metric serves as a critical barometer for assessing educational accessibility and equity, highlighting gaps in enrollment that may be influenced by socio-economic factors, policy effectiveness, or cultural norms. By tracking this percentage, stakeholders can identify trends and target interventions aimed at improving educational inclusion, ensuring that all children have the opportunity to benefit from foundational learning experiences essential for their development and future success.
