The World Bank recently introduced a new concept of"learning poverty?. It is defined as:

The percentage of children who cannot read and understand a simple text by age 10.

The methodology of studying poverty based on individual cases rather than aggregate statistics.

The percentage of students who do not have access to books other than their academic books.

the percentage of population who stagnate in their learning abilities after the age 35.

To highlight the scope of the learning crisis, the World Bank has introduced the new concept of learning poverty, drawing on new data developed in coordination with the UNESCO Institute for Statistics.
Learning poverty is defined as the percentage of children who cannot read and understand a simple text by age 10. This indicator brings together schooling and learning indicators: it starts with the share of children who haven‘t achieved minimum reading proficiency (as measured in schools) and adjusts it by the proportion of children who are out of school (and are assumed not to read proficiently).
The new data show that 53% of all children in low- and middle-income countries suffer from learning poverty.
