Higher Education and the Development Goals—A Means to an End

The Report of the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda proposes 12 major development goals divided into 54 sub-goals, none of which mention higher education. "The importance of higher education to achieving the old and new Millennium Development Goals is evident," writes Ad Boeren for University World News. "As such higher education should feature in post-2015 development agendas and be integrated in programmes that aim to achieve the goals."
