The greatest challenge for Millennium Development Goal two is achieving and maintaining stable enrollment. Millennium Development Goal Number Two focuses on achieving universal primary education. With so many children not attending, they have no chance of emerging from a life of poverty. If more children enroll and eventually complete school, they will know the benefits of education and encourage others to attend, especially their own children. This will also give them a competitive advantage over children who do not have the same education. Getting a stable enrollment can be as simple as getting a free primary education. Reaching women, abandoned children or rural areas would also help enrollment. Access to post-primary and secondary schooling also needs to be increased. If children had incentives to go to school or free education, many more children around the world would receive a good education and emerge from a life full of poverty. One of the most difficult challenges in getting children to school is the cost. Many parents living on less than $1.25 a day lack the funds to pay for their children's schooling. Often, if they have a little extra money, they are more likely to send boys to school than girls. This is because women are seen as housewives and that is how parents were raised, so they pass this tradition on to their children. Sometimes children are needed to work or help support the family and these families rely on their children's minimum income, otherwise they will not have enough money for food (Blaney Lecture).
