Provide data to the Annual Education Statistics Profiles on children who have failed to enrol in schools and
complete their primary and secondary education due to unavailability of birth certificates and IDs, as well
as on those who have failed to sit public examinations. This will enable authorities to address their lack of
documents and reduce the risk of them being rendered stateless.
Ensure equitable access to education throughout the country and take steps to reduce the drop-out rate,
particularly in the Matabeleland provinces and in Manicaland.
TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND DONORS
