Post 2015 Millennium Development Goal Framework: Student Voices

Postgraduate students are invited to take part in this joint BAICE and UKFIET sponsored conference that aims to raise student awareness of and participation in the debate on envisioning a post-2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) framework. The conference wishes to engage postgraduate researchers in communicating their views on current progress on the MDGs in relation to education.
