<strong>UNESCO</strong> <strong>Publishing</strong>/South Asia Foundation<br />

The Sasia Story recounts Madanjeet Singh’s<br />

lifelong search for economic stability and<br />

regional cooperation. It is the story of a young<br />

man’s activism and fervour, as well as the trauma<br />

he suffers in the aftermath of partition and<br />

the gruesome fratricidal conflict between India<br />

and Pakistan. Madanjeet Singh is a <strong>UNESCO</strong><br />

Goodwill Ambassador. He established the<br />

Sumitra Foundation (SF) in 1995, which holds<br />

firm the conviction that without education<br />

and family planning alleviation of poverty<br />

is impossible. In 2000, he also set up the<br />

South Asia Foundation (SAF), which is a<br />

non-profit, non-political and secular youth<br />

movement created to benefit disadvantaged<br />

and marginalized communities in Afghanistan,<br />

Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal,<br />

Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The objectives of SF and<br />

SAF are two sides of the same coin, the theme of<br />

The Sasia Story.<br />

<strong>UNESCO</strong>-UIS<br />

The <strong>2010</strong> Global Education Digest focuses<br />

specifically on gender and education to mark<br />

“Beijing +15” – the 15th anniversary of the<br />

Fourth World <strong>Co</strong>nference on Women. This<br />

edition presents a rich set of cross-nationally<br />

comparable data compiled by the UIS as well<br />

as information from household surveys and<br />

assessments of learning achievement that capture<br />

the scope of gender disparities across the world.<br />

The international community pledged to eliminate<br />

gender disparities in all levels of education by<br />

2015 as part of the Millennium Development<br />

Goals (MDGs). Yet 63% of countries (out of<br />

157 with available data) are still faced with gender<br />

disparities in primary and secondary education<br />

and these imbalances will probably persist in<br />

nearly half of countries in 2015.<br />

The Digest presents a wide range of education<br />

indicators and data for the school year ending<br />

in 2008 or the latest available year, as well as<br />

data for 2009 for a small number of countries.<br />

It includes data tables from the World Education<br />

Indicators programme, which are comparable<br />

across a group of 62 countries. These indicators<br />

can help benchmark the performance of national<br />

education systems.<br />

<strong>UNESCO</strong>-UIS<br />

The 2009 Global Education Digest (GED)<br />

presents a wide range of education indicators to<br />

assess progress towards Education for All and<br />

Millennium Development Goals. These crossnationally<br />

comparable indicators also provide<br />

benchmarks for the performance of national<br />

education systems.<br />

The Digest provides data for the school year<br />

ending in 2007 or the latest year available, as<br />

well as data for 2008 for a small number of<br />

countries. It includes data tables from the World<br />

Education Indicators (WEI) programme, which<br />

are comparable across a group of 62 countries,<br />

including those that are members of the<br />

Organisation for Economic <strong>Co</strong>-operation and<br />

Development (OECD). In addition, time series<br />

data on tertiary education from 1970 onwards<br />

are presented.<br />

The special focus of this edition is the analysis<br />

of emerging global trends in tertiary education,<br />

highlighting the rapid growth of tertiary<br />

education systems since 1970, changing patterns<br />

in tertiary education graduates by field of study,<br />

and in particular, the changing landscape of<br />

international student mobility.<br />
