POLICY BRIEF #4 Education and Energy CURRENT STATUS Globally over 230 million children go to primary schools without any electricity, 217 million live in sub - Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America. Globally about 103 million young people still lack basic literacy skills, almost 60 % of them female. Youth literacy levels tend to be lower in countries with electrification rates below 80% Efforts to electrify schools have lagged behind, leaving millions of children without access to electricity. Status of education and energy and progress towards achieving the SDGs • Globally over 291 million children go to primary schools without any electricity, 188 million in sub - Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America. • Educational facilities require energy for lighting, cooking, heating, cooling, water delivery and purification, as well as information and communication technology (ICT), including for disaster and medical emergencies. Efforts towards achieving the SDG 7 target of universal access to affordable, reliable, modern energy services also contribute to the sustainable development goal of ensuring inclusive and quality education for all (SDG 4) • About 57 million children still do not go to school, half of them in sub - Saharan Africa. Although education levels have increase d over the years, globally about 103 million young people still lack basic literacy skills, almost 60 % of them female (UN, 2017) and youth literacy levels tend to be lower in countries with electrification rates below 80%. • School attendance and performance levels have been shown to increase with increased electrification rates – especially for lighting , and equipment (including ICT). Electrification allows schools to stay open for a better learning environment, extended operating hours of study, and teach er preparation and training after hours. • Schools with better access to sustainable energy can also be used as a place for addressing other community services, such as clean water, hygienic sanitation, health and emergency services. • Efforts to electrify sc hools have lagged behind, leaving millions of children without access to electricity – more prominent ly in disadvantaged and rural communities.
