Current Progress

"Significant progress has been made towards universal primary education. ... In more than 60 developing countries, at least 90% of primary school-age children are in school. ... Girls’ education has also expanded significantly, with two thirds of countries having reached gender parity in primary education."

Remaining Obstacles

"There is a growing need to focus on the transition from primary to lower secondary school, which often proves particularly difficult in developing countries. Some children are not transitioning to secondary school at typical ages while other children drop out entirely. ... Only 12 developing countries and territories have secondary school participation levels of 90% or more. ... Fewer countries are near gender parity in secondary education"
