UNICEF Releases "State of the World's Children" Report

The State of the World's Children 2004 focuses on girls' education and its relationship to all other development goals and to the promise of Education For All. It presents a multi-layered case for investing in girls' education as a strategic way to ensure the rights of both boys and girls and to advance a country's development agenda. The web summary touches on general points of the main text and presents panel abstracts highlighting successful programmes.
