2.58 Billion Invisible Children: How Global Education Data Lies to You
Achieving Equitable Education: Missing Education Data and the SDG 4 Data Regime
We live in a world obsessed with data. Yet, 258 million children are completely invisible to the global education system. This video, based on the groundbreaking research 'Achieving Equitable Education: Missing Education Data and the SDG 4 Data Regime' by Marcos Delprato and Daniel D. Shephard, tears down the illusion of progress. We reveal the three hidden data gaps that actively erase the most vulnerable: the poor, refugees, indigenous communities, and girls. You'll see how shiny global metrics like enrollment rates can hide a collapse in learning quality, and how averages can mask devastating regional crises. This isn't just about statistics; it's about power, politics, and the true cost of looking away. Discover why the data you see might be a lie, and how communities like those in Gambia are fighting back by reclaiming their data sovereignty. Watch this to understand the hidden story behind the numbers that shape our world.
