Support Education for All
Celebrate EFA Week!

How best to recall the international objective of Education for All by 2015 than through an annual reminder?

UNESCO invites organizations and individuals around the world to celebrate EFA Week each year around the anniversary of the World Education Forum (Dakar, April 2000) - this year from 22 to 26 April.

A week-long series of awareness-raising activities allow us to take stock of advances towards the goal of Education for All by 2015 and to provoke public debate on education issues.

Who should celebrate it? All individuals and organizations are encouraged to mark the occasion. UNESCO, UNICEF, UNFPA and the World Bank are, for example, joining forces to organize television debates and roundtables in several countries as well as a host of other activities.

UNESCO and the Global Campaign for Education (organizing its Global Action Week on the same dates) have launched a world-wide children's drawing competition on "What I Want to Be When I Grow Up".
