Highlights
Over the past decade, countries across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have made notable strides in expanding access to education and improving overall educational attainment. However, progress has been uneven, and significant barriers remain for many children and adolescents who continue to face challenges in accessing and completing quality education. Learning outcomes also vary widely, and education systems often struggle to equip students with the skills needed to navigate the transition from education to work. In a labour market that increasingly values digital, green and transferable skills, as well as literacy in emerging technologies, too many young people still lack the competencies essential for success. This document offers UNICEF country offices practical guidance, evidence and tools to inform programme design and partnerships. By sharing innovations and promising initiatives from countries in the region and beyond, the document seeks to help country offices develop integrated strategies that support adolescents and young people as they move from learning to earning.
