OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRESS SINCE 2000

♦ Significant progress in goal 1 but still only 70% of children participate in ECCE. Good progress in goals 3 and 6. ♦ The sub-region had a good starting point as, already in 2000, primary education was almost universal and there was

equal participation of boys and girls in primary (goals 2 and 5).
