Ten
years of education
under scrutiny |
 |
|
| |
 How
many children are out of school in Sierra Leone, devastated
by a brutal civil war? How is AIDS affecting schooling in Zimbabwe?
What was the impact of the recent economic crisis in Asia on
education? What is being done to help the millions of Americans
and Europeans who have serious problems reading to their children? |
| |
| To
answer these and many more questions crucial for sound policy-making,
education specialists in some 180 countries around the world
have been working against the odds in the past year to realize
the global EFA 2000 Assessment. This
ambitious exercise takes place at a time when there are 850
million illiterate adults in the world and when some 100 million
children have no access at all to school, while millions more
are dropping out or learning little if they do attend. |
