Globally, 58 million children of primary school age were out of school in 2012. Of that number,38 million children were in Africa.(True/False). Discuss the situation of primary school enrolmentin Africa after 2012 to date.

The statement "Globally, 58 million children of primary school age were out of school in 2012. Of that number,38 million children were in Africa." is False. According to UNESCO, in 2012, there were 57 million children of primary school age out of school globally, and of that number, 33 million were in Africa.

Discussing the situation of primary school enrollment in Africa after 2012 to date, there has been some progress, but challenges still persist. According to the Global Education Monitoring Report by UNESCO, the out-of-school rate for children of primary school age dropped from 33% in 2000 to 21% in 2012, and to 19% in 2018. However, due to population growth, the number of out-of-school children has remained almost the same.

Several factors contribute to this situation. These include conflict, gender inequality, poverty, and geographical isolation. Many children in Africa, especially girls, are still denied their right to education due to these factors.

Efforts are being made to improve the situation. For example, the African Union's Agenda 2063 sets out a vision for a “transformed continent”, with education as a key component. The Global Partnership for Education also supports more than 20 African countries to develop and implement their education strategies.

However, more needs to be done to ensure that all children in Africa have access to quality primary education. This includes increasing investment in education, improving the quality of teaching, and addressing the barriers that prevent children from going to school.
