The Education for All (EFA) index in Azerbaijan rose by 3 percent, UNESCO said in its annual report “On the Road to Education for All: Progress and Challenges."
According to the UNESCO report, Azerbaijan is among the countries that has reached Education for All (EFA) goals, including universal education, the quality of education, population’s literacy and gender in education.
Azerbaijan could increase net enrollment ratio in primary education, while this figure was reduced in such countries like Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova.
The number of children not involved in education has been reduced by 33 million since 1999.
UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova said that global financial crisis would have a negative impact on the education of children.
There are more that 72 million children deprived of education right in the world today.
