The UNICEF says 115 million children worldwide are still missing out education, most of
them girls. 2005 is the year set to achieve gender equality in primary education.
According to UNICEF many countries in South Asia, Africa and the Middle East cannot
meet the target of gender equality this year. UNICEF is especially concerned about the
situation in South and central Africa, where, it says emergency measures are now needed to
promote primary education. In South Africa, Asia, UNICEF says, progress has been made but
not enough. Forty –two million children across the region don’t go to school.
UNICEF says a quantum leap is now needed to achieve universal primary education by
2015. It insists that huge effort should be made in this field if poverty is to be eradicated.
