Education for All (EFA)

6 goals to be reached in 2015

• Expand early childhood care and

education

• Provide free and compulsory primary

education for all

• Promote learning and life skills for young

people and adults

• Increase adult literacy by 50 per cent

• Achieve gender parity by 2005, gender

equality by 2015

• Improve the quality of education

No mention of higher education

Higher Education and EFA?

• Higher education has generally not been involved as a sector up

to now, with the exception of teacher training

• The three missions (teaching, research and outreach) of higher

education institutions can be of help to EFA

• The higher education sector will, if not already, be impacted by

EFA: growing number of secondary-school graduates; quality of

pre-higher education schooling; teacher education reforms

• The higher education sector is generally not aware of the

initiative, issues at stake, and how to become involved

The Expert Meeting validated a real need for exploration of the

linkages between Higher Education and the UN Education For

All initiative and requested information sharing and capacity

building.

And consequently:

An international - with no region left out - Reference group to

bring in people’s experiences and expertise from diverse

locations, culture and environments was created.

An Information kit was

drafted and published to

both address and

answer the questions of

what is EFA, why and

how should HE get

involved; where can HE

activities be developed,

and who is engaged

Page 9: IAU HEEFA Follow-up Seminar

A collaborative Portal – the HEEFA Portal - was set up to allow

academics to publish online their expertise, work and projects

related to EFA. It also provides information on recent

developments in the EFA field.

The HEEFA Newsletter extracts information published on the

HEEFA Portal and provides highlights on recent developments in

the HEEFA Project and activities of Reference Group Members.

The Collaborative Workshop : A three-step activity to

envision higher education for Education for All was tested in

Cuernavaca, State of Morelos, Mexico and conducted in

Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso; Katmandu, Nepal, Nairobi,

Kenya, and New Delhi, India

Brings together local representatives of HEIs, pre-HE sector, students,

teachers, NGOs, UNESCO – IAU as facilitator

Aims to inform both the higher education community of what EFA is and

the other EFA stakeholders of what higher education can bring to EFA,

Identifies local needs and higher education’s possible intervention(s) in a

commonly agreed upon document for a way forward.
