EFA GLOBAL MONITORING REPORT 2011
UNESCO has released the new 2011 Education for All (EFA) Global Monitoring Report. The hidden crisis: Armed conflict and education examines the damaging consequences of conflict for the EFA goals. The report sets out an agenda for protecting the right to education during conflict, strengthening provision for children, youth and adults affected by conflict, and rebuilding education systems in countries emerging from conflict. Drawing on experience from a range of countries, it identifies problems and sets out solutions that can help make education a force for peace, social cohesion and human dignity.
Governments, development agencies, civil society and the private sector are working together to reach the six EFA goals identified at the World Education Forum in Dakar in 2000. The annual EFA Global Monitoring Report monitors the progress of countries and identifies global challenges in order to reach the EFA goals by the year 2015.
