Writing the Future, Together – #5 Improving lives through education The number of children whose learning conditions have been improved by BIC is an estimation of children reached by direct actions and/or impacted through actions towards teachers, deans or parents. This number is a minimum because some of the actions carried by BIC may not be reported. In 2019, the methodology for estimating the number of children affected by an action through teachers changed: 1 teacher directly impacted is reported as 90 children (indirect impact).

This corresponds to the impact of the action on a teacher for at least 3 years and to the worldwide average of a class of 30 children (3 x 30 = 90 children per teacher). As a result, the 2018 impact figure was also revised and increased to 30.6 million children impacted

The present report follows the methodological recommendations of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The GRI indicators used in the report are referenced in the cross-reference table for environmental and social indicators (page 324).
