Accountability in education: Meeting our commitments (2017-8 youth version)

SDG 4, right to education, global education monitoring report, sustainable development goals

This youth report, based on findings and conclusions from the 2017/8 Global Education Monitoring report, asks how young people are involved in the process of accountability in education.

Monitoreando el derecho a la educación de las niñas no escolarizadas en Tanzania

Tanzania tiene una de las tasas más altas de matrimonio infantil en el mundo. Según el Fondo de Población de las Naciones Unidas, el 37 por ciento de las niñas están casadas a los dieciocho años.
