  TARGET Ensure that by2015, children everywhere boys and girls alike will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling
• 3.
  WILL THIS MDGBE MET? • Despite great progress in many countries this target is unlikely to be met. The rise of school enrolment has raised but is still not high enough to have reached the target by 2015. • To achieve the goal by the target date, all children at official entry age for primary schooling would have had to be attending classes by 2009. • At least one in four children of enrolment age was not attending school in 2008. Proving that this target is unlikely to be met .

  REASONS FOR THEGOAL NOT TO BE MET • Drop out rates in Africa still remain high. More then 30% of primary school students drop out before final grade. • People cannot afford to send their children to school as they only earn around 79cent a day and it costs three euro to enrol a child for a year so three euro is near impossible to source and then the final added cost of a uniform. • The UN are trying to abolish school fees. Making it more possible for children to attend.

  PRIMARY EDUCATION FORALL: PROGRESS More than 85 per cent of Primary-School-Age Children attend school. Attendance info based on household surveys show that the number of children of primary school age who are out of school has declined markedly in recent years. (from 115 million in 2002 to 93 million in 2005–2006. Many countries are close to delivering universal primary education. In other countries and regions the task remains enormous, eg. in sub- Saharan Africa, where around 41 million primary-school-age children are out of school, and in South Asia, where 31.5 million remain out of school
