<div>This is from another list I watch. If you are data-driven in your thinking (and I hope you are), there is an embarrassment of riches here (of data about the embarrassment of world poverty to those of us in wealthier nations). Good news on some fronts (lower HIV estimates), long road ahead in many areas.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Contains a number data fields specifically on educational status (aqll broken down by country):</div>
<div>Net primary school enrollment ratio (%, by male/female)</div>
<div>Adult literacy rate (%)<br></div>
<div>Numerous other statistics related to economic status, healthcare access, morbidity/mortality, etc. Extensively referenced and hotlinked to original sources (UNESCO, et al.). It doesn't make for light reading, but it's probably as current, accurate and comprehensive a treatment of the statistics of the situation as you're likely to find. A grim primer on the current worldwide health situation.</div>
