Success is measured not only by the number of children we enroll, nor by their achievements on standardized tests; the most important outcomes are the tangible and intangible impacts of education on the quality of students’ lives. This is the unfinished business of the MDGs.
今年即将通过的新的可持续发展目标罗列了各国政府到2030年必须解决的难题。我坚持认为可持续发展目标必须优先涵盖高质量的初等普及教育。质量是这里必须强调的问题。成功的标准既不是招收的儿童数量，也不是标准化考试的成绩；对学生生活质量有形无形的影响才是最重要问题。这是千年发展目标未能达到的目的。
