UN Youth Assembly 2009

It seems a bit of a non-argument, but an intriguing one, nevertheless: Which MDG is the most important to achieve?

At the recent UN Youth Assembly, experts butted heads (jokingly) over this. One argued that Child Health is the most important, because it's a prerequisite for studying and contributing to society. Another argued that Education takes priority because people cannot practice healthy behaviors until they have the knowledge they need to do so. Someone else appealed for MDG #1: End Poverty and Hunger, saying until we accomplish that, people can be neither healthy, nor educated.
