Education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility.
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all by 2030
The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 24 January as International Day of Education in celebration of the role of education for peace and development.
Without inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong opportunities for all, countries will not succeed in achieving gender equality and breaking the cycle of poverty that is leaving millions of children, youth and adults behind.
Today, 258 million children and youth still do not attend school; 617 million children and adolescents cannot read and do basic math; less than 40% of girls in sub-Saharan Africa complete lower secondary school and some four million children and youth refugees are out of school. Their right to education is being violated and it is unacceptable.

UNDP Human Development Data Center: The human development data are sourced from international data agencies with the mandate, resources, and expertise to collect national data on specific indicators unless otherwise noted.
Human Development Report Office Statistical Data API
The Human Development Report Office (HDRO) offers this REST API for the developers to query human development related data in JSON format. The data can be queried by indicator id(s), year(s) and country code(s) and group by any order.
API Home: http://ec2-54-174-131-205.compute-1.amazonaws.com/API/Information.php
Using the API
Users should query the API using the GET method. The resource selection can be done using single or multiple strings, as follows: country_code = 'AFG' indicator_id = '72206' year = '1980, 1990, 2019'
The options selection is by default set to: Data Structure: structure = ciy [ciy, yic, yci, iyc, icy]
Education Index (Indicator ID - 103706)
