The anniversary of the World Education Forum (Dakar, April 2000) is an annual opportunity to renew the momentum generated in Dakar and to provoke public debate on Education for All.

Each year a global Education for All week is organized throughout the world. This year’s EFA week will take place from 22-26 April.

All education actors - whether teachers, pupils, parents, civil society organizations, schools, international organizations are encouraged to particate. Only by joining forces we can ensure that the millions of out-of-school children and illiterate youth and adults get a chance to develop their full potential as human beings and responsible citizens through education.

Let’s make the six Education for All goals a reality:


  • 1. Expand early childhood care and education.
  • 2. Provide free and compusory education of good quality by 2015.
  • 3. Promote the acquisition of life-skills adolescents and youth.
  • 4. Increase adult literacy ratesby 50 per cent by 2015.
  • 5. Eliminate gender disparities in education by 2005 and achieve gender equality by 2015.
  • 6. Enhance educational quality
