This is equivalent to emptying every primary school in Germany and Italy combined. It would raise the estimated number of out-ofschool children from the current 272 million3 to 278 million.  \nAmong the countries facing the steepest setback, Côted’Ivoire and Mali both risk of losing 4 per cent in current enrolment which translates to 340,000 and 180,000 students, respectively.  \nEven children and young people who stay in school will be affected. With reduced support for system strengthening, such as curriculum development, learning assessment, and teacher development, at least 290 million students could experience a decline in the quality of their education almost overnight.4  \n1 The projections apply multivariate noncentral hypergeometric distribution to simulate education aid cut using data from the OECD Creditor Reporting System (CRS) and the DonorTracker as of July 2025. The CRS provides ODA data as of 2023, the latest year when detailed data are available for all countries. The DonorTracker provides cut statements and data that captured 82% of global education ODA; cuts for remaining donors were imputed. In total, 59 donors have projected education aid cut. The modelling and argument adopted in this analysis align with partners’ analyses on the ongoing wave of fund cuts (ETF, 2025; GEMR, 2025; GEMR & ECW, 2025; IIEP-UNESCO, 2025) .  \n2 We estimated that cuts of 25% or more to K-12 aid could undo five years of progress in reducing out-of-school children. There are 28 low-and lower-middle-income countries meeting the criteria, 19 with projected setback, summing up to 5.73 million children.  \n3 UNESCO GEM Report [https://education-estimates.org/out-of-school/data/](https://education-estimates.org/out-of-school/data/), retrieved on 14 August 2025.  \n4 More specifically, 290 million students currently enrolled in pre-primary to upper secondary schools across 45 countries, where the ODA on education system strengthening is projected to drop by 25 per cent or more.  \nWho is hit hardest?  \nYoung learners hit hardest: Even as preprimary education stagnates with severe underfinancing, primary education faces the steepest cuts of US$856 million, a 34 per cent decline. This drop yields a potential  \nUS$164 billion lost in lifetime earnings for the affected children.5 Such cuts threatens to deepen the already dire learning crisis plaguing low-and lower-middle-income countries, where in some cases only 1 in 10 children aged 10 can read and understand a simple text.  \nEssential services under threat: Schools are safe havens providing education, clean water, toilets, meals, healthcare, and referrals to child protection services including support for children facing  \nabuse, exploitation or other protection risks. But lifelines like school feeding programmes now face 57 per cent cuts (US$190 million)– robbing many students of their only nutritious meal and harming learning.  \nGirls' progress at risk: Gender-focused education aid—such as girls’ tuition subsidies, safe and private toilets/latrines, and girls’skills programmes—faces a 28 per cent cut (US$123 million), risking the reversal of hard  \nwon progress in girls’ education.. A decade ago, a girl in oneof the least developed countries had about an 80 per cent chance of completing high school compared with a boy; today that gap has nearly closed, but at risk of widening again.  \nCrisis zones abandoned: With the fund","cbCaif35ybLnZWAT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif35ybLnZWAT","pdf",3607179,"English","# Education aid cuts\n## Who is hit hardest?\n## Education aid cuts and vulnerable children","[{\"question\":\"What is the projected decline in international education aid by 2026?\",\"answer\":\"International aid to education is projected to fall by US$3.2 billion by 2026, a 24% drop.\"},{\"question\":\"How many additional children might be at risk of being out of school by end of 2026?\",\"answer\":\"UNICEF estimates 6 million more children could risk being out of school by end of 2026.\"},{\"question\":\"How could education aid cuts affect students who remain in school?\",\"answer\":\"With reduced support for curriculum development, learning assessment, and teacher development, at least 290 million students could experience declines in the quality of education.\"}]","Education Aid Cuts: A Broken Promise to Children | PDF",1792063270]
