The #EducationCountdown is officially launching on August 18, 2014 which will exactly be 500 days before the 2015 MDGs deadline is met.

As part of the post 2015 development agenda, these 500 days are extremely critical. We can all be a part of this global campaign through active advocacy and bringing about a change around us. If we can synchronize our efforts, the impact of our little actions can be huge.

During these 500 days, the Right to Education team at Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi has planned a number of activities/dialogues/sessions corresponding to the global themes (see below). Follow this space for updates on our events.
