Pilot 2005-2007

In 2005, IAU launched a Pilot Project, entitled Higher Education and Research to Meet Education For All Goals, culminating with an Experts’ Seminar, held in Maputo, Mozambique, in January 2007. The Pilot aimed to examine the contribution made by higher education institutions to meet EFA goals, in particular the outcomes of inter-university linkages and research cooperation between institutions in industrialised and developing countries. It was developed from IAU’s belief that:
  • there is insufficient knowledge about the involvement of higher education in EFA-related activities,
  • that this involvement is greater than what is currently acknowledged, and
  • whatever may be the level of activities, these need to be reinforced if countries are to reach the EFA programme's goals in a sustainable way.
The full Pilot project description is available here.

Access the Pilot findings and recommendations put forward during the Experts’ Seminar under Outcomes.
