In April 2000 more than 1,100 participants from 164 countries
gathered in Dakar, Senegal, for the World
Education Forum. Ranging from teachers to prime ministers,
academics to policymakers, non-governmental bodies to the heads
of major international organizations, they adopted the 2000-word
Dakar Framework
for Action, Education for All: Meeting Our Collective Commitments.
This document reaffirms the goal of education for all as laid
out by the World
Conference on Education for All (Jomtien, Thailand, 1990)
and other international conferences. It commits governments
to achieving quality basic education for all by 2015 or earlier,
with particular emphasis on girls' education, and includes a
pledge from donor countries and institutions that "no country
seriously committed to basic education will be thwarted in the
achievement of this goal by lack of resources".
