The number of children out of school in Ghana decreased by 17,908 children (-3.17 percent) in 2021 in comparison to the previous year. Nevertheless, the last two years recorded a significant higher number of children out of school than the preceding years. Out-of-school children are the number of school-age children enrolled in primary or secondary school minus the total population of the official primary school-age children.
Data for 2010 and from 2013 to 2016 were not provided by the source. The source mentions that the number of out-of-school children is calculated by subtracting the number of primary school-age children enrolled in primary or secondary school from the total population of the official primary school-age children.
