Abstract

The report explores how access to reliable energy in schools can unlock educational opportunities, particularly for girls. At a time when 272 million children remain out of school globally—and nearly half of them are girls—the consequences are profound. Without stronger support, the gender gap in access to education and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) opportunities will persist. Ensuring stable electricity in schools is critical to achieving commitments to SDG4 (Quality Education), SDG5 (Gender Equality), and SDG7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). Practical implementation requires not only infrastructure expansion but also gender-responsive policies, financing and community engagement that ensure every child, especially every girl, can learn in an electrified, safe and inspiring environment.
