UNESCO’s Roadmap 2014-2021
‣ Serving as a laboratory of ideas and generating innovative
proposals and policy advice
‣ Developing and reinforcing the global agenda through
policy analysis, monitoring and benchmarking
‣ Setting norms and standards and supporting and
monitoring their implementation
‣ Strengthening international and regional cooperation and
fostering alliances, intellectual cooperation, knowledge
sharing and operational partnerships
4
Efforts towards achieving Education for All
(EFA) since the year 2000 have yielded
unprecedented progress
5
However, the EFA and Millennium
Development Goal (MDG) education
agendas will remain unfinished
by 2015

The 11th EFA Global Monitoring Report
2013/14 Teaching and learning:
achieving quality for all

‣ By 2015, many countries will still not have reached
the EFA goals
‣ There is a global learning crisis that is hitting the
disadvantaged hardest
‣ There were 31 million girls out of school in 2011,
55% of whom are expected never to enrol
‣ Reflecting years of poor education quality and
unmet learning needs, 493 million women are
illiterate, accounting for almost two-thirds of the
world’s 774 million illiterate adults
8
‣ Good quality education can only be achieved with
good quality teachers
‣ In addition to 3.7 million teachers needed to
replace those leaving the profession (due to
retirement, ill health, or change in job), 1.6 million
additional teachers are needed to achieve universal
primary education by 2015
‣ Global education goals after 2015 must track
progress of the marginalized, hard-to-reach groups
of population
9
Global Trends and Challenges
in the Digital Age
10
Drivers of Change
‣ Democratization of knowledge and access will drive a
global ‘education revolution’
‣ Increased global competition for domestic and
international student markets
‣ Digital technologies
‣ Global mobility
‣ Integration with industry

There is a strong need for a new and
forward-looking education agenda that
completes unfinished business while
going beyond the current goals in terms
of depth and scope.
12
UNESCO advocates for a single, clearlydefined global education agenda, which
should be an integral part of the broader
international development framework.

Ensure equitable quality education
and lifelong learning for all by 2030
UNESCO Position Paper on Education
Post-2015
(http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0022/002273/227336E.pdf )
15
• Lifelong learning - a central principle of the
post-2015 education agenda
• Flexible lifelong and life wide learning
opportunities provided through formal, nonformal and informal pathways, including by
harnessing the potential of ICT to create a new
culture of learning
16
Post-2015 Challenges: Ministers of Education
‣ Commitment to addressing all forms of exclusion and
discrimination, disparities and inequalities in access to
and in the completion of education and learning cycles,
processes and outcomes
‣ Inclusive and equitable lifelong learning for all, at all
levels of education, from early childhood to tertiary and
higher education
‣ Skills and competencies for life and work
‣ Quality of education : expanding the use of ICT and
harnessing their full potential in the teaching and learning
processes, for improved learning outcomes and
environments
17
Ensure equitable quality education and
lifelong learning for all by 2030:
What Role for Open, Online and
Flexible Higher Education to the Post2015 Global Education Agenda?
18
ICDE-UNESCO Call to Action:
How Can We Together Make This Goal
A Reality for All by 2030?
