International project Track Gender Disparity for pupils between 14 and 17 years old in secondary schools all over the world. In 2000 the United Nations agreed to work on the reduction of differences in opportunities between boys and girls. The first step is the elimination of gender disparity in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and at all levels of education no later than 2015. It is goal number three of what is called the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The goals are measurable with clear indicators.The pupils of your class are warmly invited to join an international project when they work with Track Gender Disparity. They investigate the achievements so far for Millennium Development Goal # three in their own country and they compare their results with the research done by pupils in other countries.Teachers are supplied with teachers materials and background information when they join the project.The final aim of the eight Millennium Development Goals is to get better living conditions and better opportunities for all the people all over the world in the year 2015. By this project pupils world wide work with the MDG's and they know what the consequences are if we don't educate girls.By this project several country reports are produced by pupils world wide. They analyse and compare all the data world wide in their final report.They are invited to submit the collected information and their analysis to their leaders.
