Financial Crisis Threatens to Lead Stagnation
We are running a great risk of violating the important pledge made by world governments in 2000: achieving education for all by 2015 “says the director of the Report, Kevin Watkins.
The 2010 study assesses progress towards achieving the goals of ‘Education for All’, the text adopted at the World Education Forum in 2000 and focuses especially on the “destitute of education”, ie the tens of millions of children worldwide who are still deprived of school.
“The shock wave of the financial crisis threatens to lead to stagnation, or even a setback, progress toward basic education made in some of the world’s poorest countries. It also threatens to create a ‘lost generation’ of children who have no chance of going to school and receive an education that allows them to escape poverty. Governments must act decisively to prevent this threat is consumed, “says Watkins.
The report examines who they are and why they are being marginalized. It also analyzes the cost which will mean achieving the ‘Education for All’, much higher than previously estimated – and makes recommendations for education back on track by track.
Monitoring Report on Education for All the World is published annually and is produced by an independent team of experts that assesses progress towards achieving the six goals of ‘Education for All’, which more than 160 countries committed themselves in 2000.
