Tracking progress towards the MDGs
All UN Member States have pledged to meet the MDGs by the year 2015. The eight goals range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education.
A range of development organizations, donors and civil society groups are working with governments to achieve these goals.
Monitoring is a key component in this process. The UIS is the official source of data for measuring progress towards the following education-related goals.
