Challenges and achievements in the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals for women and girls 2014, para. 20
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The Commission notes that with regard to Millennium Development Goal 2 (achieving universal primary education), significant progress has been made in net primary school enrolments and towards eliminating gender disparity in primary education enrolment, but expresses concern that the heavy focus on numbers has resulted in less focus on completion, educational quality and learning outcomes. The Commission further notes the lack of progress in closing gender gaps in access to, retention in and completion of secondary education, which has been shown to contribute more strongly than primary school attendance to the achievement of gender equality, the empowerment of women, and the human rights of women and girls and several positive social and economic outcomes. The majority of youth lacking basic education are young women. Notwithstanding the progress made more needs to be done where progress remains uneven within groups and between countries to achieve the targets by 2015.
