2025 Annual Report
Learning Passport
Highlights
In 2025, UNICEF's Learning Passport continued to evolve as a transformative digital education programme, helping to close learning gaps for children, young people, teachers and educators around the world. Its greatest strength lies in its flexibility and adaptability – meeting learners where they are, whether in public schools, community centres, refugee camps, offline environments or at home on personal devices. As a core delivery platform for UNICEF's Digital Education Strategy, the Learning Passport is increasingly embedded within national education systems, supporting governments to institutionalize digital learning in formal education, teacher training and adolescent skills pathways.
In 2025, the Learning Passport expanded to six new countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dominican Republic, Lesotho, Nepal, Niger and Sri Lanka. The programme is now active in 51 countries, with a total of 12.5 million learners and educators reached and 7.5 million course completions to date. Across emergency contexts, the Learning Passport served as rapid-response learning infrastructure – ensuring education continuity for crisis-affected and displaced children in Bangladesh, Lebanon, Poland, Sudan, Syria and beyond, through its offline and low-bandwidth capabilities. Beyond the numbers, 2025 also brought the programme's first global randomized controlled trial – conducted in Mexico – which demonstrated statistically significant learning gains for students using the platform.
