What is the target of the Millennium Development Goal of the Uni ted Nations with respect to1 Universal Primary Education ?

The Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 2, established by the United Nations, specifically aimed to 'Achieve Universal Primary Education'. The primary target (Target 2.A) was to ensure that, by the year 2015, children everywhere—both boys and girls alike—would be able to complete a full course of primary schooling [t1][t2][t5]. This goal focused on both enrollment and completion rates to ensure a foundational level of education for all children globally [t1][t8]. While significant progress was made, with primary school enrollment in developing regions reaching approximately 91% by 2015, the target of 100% completion was not fully met worldwide [c2][t3]. The indicators used to measure this progress included the net enrollment ratio in primary education and the proportion of pupils starting grade 1 who reach the last grade of primary school [t4][t6].
