Education is one of the most fundamental prerequisites to economic
growth and social stability in the world. It is also one of the
most inadequately realised goals of development, with the average
education of global adults remaining essentially at primary levels.
Advancing Global Education is the second in a series of volumes
that explores prospects for human development-how development
appears to be unfolding globally and locally, how we would like it
to evolve, and how better to assure that we move it in desired
directions. The first volume addressed the reduction of global
poverty. The third will turn to the enhancement of global health.
Advancing Global Education presents the most extensive set of
forecasts of global education participation and attainment levels
to date-providing and exploring a massive, multi-issue database and
proposing a scenario for accelerating educational attainment
throughout major world regions and 183 countries.

global poverty. The third will turn to the enhancement of global
health. The series Patterns of Potential Human Progress is inspired
by the UN Human Development Report, the UN Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs), and other initiatives to improve the global
condition. The foundation for the book is a large-scale computer
program called International Futures (IFs), developed over three
decades and based at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for
International Futures within the Josef Korbel School of
International Studies at the University of Denver. The forecasts
are long-term, looking 50 years into the future, thereby
anticipating the needs of the global community to think well beyond
the MDGs. Analyses in volumes in the series draw on deeply
integrated representation of a wide range of human development
arenas including demographics, economics, education,
socio-political contexts, agriculture, energy, and the environment.
