Welcome to the United Nations
Education will be central to the success of the international targets that will replace the Millennium Development Goals when they expire in 2015. That’s the key point of a new booklet that will be released when the 69th Session of the United Nations General Assembly convenes from 16 September. Produced by UNESCO’s Education for All Global Monitoring Report, the booklet states that new global development targets after 2015 should be based on a holistic approach to sustainable development.
The booklet has received far-reaching support from across the development world, including from the United Nations Secretary General, the Director-General of UNESCO, the President of the World Bank, the Advisor to the UN Secretary-General on Post-2015 Development Planning, the Prime Minister of Norway, the Executive Director of the World Food Programme, the Founder and Chairman of the UN Foundation and the President of the Foundation for Community Development & Founder, Graça Machel Trust, Graça Machel.
