The UN Millennium Development Goals, adopted in 2000, expire in December 2015, which means that time is running to meet the deadline for achieving the target of universal primary education. That goal will remain unattainable unless and until we establish the long-overdue principle that a child’s right to education knows no boundaries.
2000年开始的联合国千年发展目标将在2015年12月到期，这意味着实现全民普及小学教育的目标正在快速接近最后期限。除非我们树立儿童受教育权利不分国界这一迟到已久的原则，否则这一目标就无法实现。
