  2. Millennium Development Goal 2:Achieve Universal Primary Education GOAL 2: ACHIEVE UNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATION Target 2. A: Ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling

  3. Overview of Target 2.A: • Enrolment in primary education in developing regions reached 90 per cent in 2010, up from 82 per cent in 1999, which means more kids than ever are attending primary school. • In 2011, 57 million children of primary school age were out of school. • Even as countries with the toughest challenges have made large strides, progress on primary school enrolment has slowed. • Between 2008 and 2011, the number of out-of-school children of primary age fell by only 3 million. • Globally, 123 million youth (aged 15 to 24) lack basic reading and writing skills. 61 per cent of them are young women. • Gender gaps in youth literacy rates are also narrowing. Globally, there were 95 literate young women for every 100 young men in 2010, compared with 90 women in 1990. MDG 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education

  4. MDG 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education • Reports show that although there has been much progress made in developing nations, MDG 2 will not be achieved by 2015. However, as already stated, MDG 2 has laid out the foundation of ideally what each country should be working towards. • Primary completion rate. Female is the total number of new female entrants in the last grade of primary education, regardless of age, expressed as percentage of the total female population of the theoretical entrance age to the last grade of primary. This indicator is also known as "gross intake rate to the last grade of primary." The ratio can exceed 100% due to over-aged and under-aged children who enter primary school late/early and/or repeat grades.

  5. MDG 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education • Primary completion rate. Male is the total number of new male entrants in the last grade of primary education, regardless of age, expressed as percentage of the total male population of the theoretical entrance age to the last grade of primary. This indicator is also known as "gross intake rate to the last grade of primary." The ratio can exceed 100% due to over-aged and under-aged children who enter primary school late/early and/or repeat grades.
