Meeting Description:

The World Declaration on Education for All (EFA) (1990) and the high-level
Unit Summit on Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) emphatically stressed the
importance of meeting the educational needs for all children, youths and
adults. UNESCO (the United Nation Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization) has been mandated to lead this global movement within the
international community to reach EFA. A concerted determination to promote
education ''became almost synonymous with ensuring that every child is in
school'' noted the UNESCO in its EFA global monitoring report (2015).
International efforts undeniably led to a significant increase in school
enrolment - 90.7% of primary age students worldwide were enrolled in school -
and gender parity in primary enrolments rates - GPI of 0.96 has been achieved
(World Bank 2012). This drive towards universal access to primary education,
which was more applicable to the poorest countries rather than to more
developed nations, albeit successful, has not been without setbacks in many
parts of the world such as Africa. In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) alone, around
31 million primary age children (over half the world primary children
population) are out of school and only 6.8% of tertiary age youth were
enrolled in tertiary education by 2010 (World Bank 2012).
