EFA Global Monitoring Report (GMR)
Contribution of Higher
Education Research in support of Education For All
In 2007, IAU was commissioned by the Global Monitoring Report (GMR) to
investigate and report on the role of higher education institutions and
research institutes in generating knowledge that furthers the EFA
objectives and the education-related Millennium Development Goals
(MDG). As part of this investigation, a survey was developed, built on
previous IAU work and findings, and conducted by IAU to gather both
quantitative and qualitative data from education faculties and other
units/faculties working on education development. A final question was
included whereby respondents had the possibility to opine freely on the
survey’s subject matter and highlight aspects not addressed within the
survey.
The submitted paper submitted to GMR was prepared by N.V. Varghese,
Director of Higher Education Division, at the International Institute
for Educational Planning (IIEP).
Pilot Project Surveys
As part of the pilot project, two questionnaires were developed in the
initial stages of the project to obtain information about North-South
inter-university EFA-related projects.
The first questionnaire was
sent out to development and donor agencies
to obtain information about such university projects that were being
funded and/or managed by the agencies, to collect data on respective
project directors and to ascertain the importance these agencies
assigned to EFA-related inter-institutional projects.
Keeping in line with the first questionnaire, a second questionnaire
was then developed and sent to identified project directors and project
leaders in respective partner institutions. General project data was
collected and the surveys solicited information on projects leaders’
perspectives and opinions on the degree of higher education involvement
in EFA-related areas.
The results from these two surveys were presented and discussed at the
Maputo Experts’ Seminar, serving both as the outline and the
springboard.
