The Five Dimensions of Exclusion (5DE) are central to the OOSCI approach, presenting groups of children for analysis and interventions. Three of the dimensions represent children who are out-of-school, as follows: • Dimension 1: Children of pre-primary school age who are not in pre-primary or primary school. • Dimension 2: Children of primary school age who are not in primary or secondary school. • Dimension 3: Children of lower secondary school age who are not in primary or secondary school. Two dimensions are represented by children in school but at risk of dropping out, as follows: • Dimension 4: Children who are in primary school but at risk of dropping out. • Dimension 5: Children who are in lower secondary school but at risk of dropping out.
