Educating the world's children: patterns of growth and inequality


Progress toward meeting Universal Primary Education

By: Wils A, Carrol B & Barrow K
Produced by: Academy for Educational Development (AED), USA , 2005

This study employs multiple sources of data and innovative analytic tools to project when 70 poor countries, given current and historical trends, are likely to achieve the goal of universal primary education. It identifies countries which are unlikely to reach universal primary entry and completion by 2015 but which are moving faster than the historic trend and so should be considered success stories and encouraged and supported. The report highlights as case studies several countries (Morocco, Nepal, Sierra Leone, Bangladesh and Uganda) that have made the right choices and moved rapidly to attain universal education.
