The declaration of Education for All demonstrated universal efforts to advance education for every child, youth, and adult. The statement also emphasizes that no one should be excluded from education based on gender, race, location, or disability. In addition, the Dakar, Senegal framework for action reasserted the vision through another declaration of the United Nations Convention on the Right of the Child. Over 258.1 million children, adolescents, and young people around the world are denied the right to education, according to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS).
