The latest Global Education Landmarks
Education First Initiative 2012 September
Sept 26th , 2012 Education First Initiative launched by Ban Ki
Moon the UN Secretary General on the margins of the 67th Session
of the UN General Assembly: Heads of State, Ministers, Heads of UN
Agencies, CSOs, Academics & the Corporate Sector
In the next 5 years, Education First will galvanize govts. and all
sectors of society on three priorities:
putting every child in school,
improving the quality of learning and
fostering global citizenship – relevant for global
challenges.
EF seeks concerted effort to put education back on track with ALL
stakeholders.
When we put Education First, we can reduce poverty & hunger, end
wasted potential, & look forward to stronger & better societies for
all. UNSG 2012

Ban Ki Moon – UN Secretary General’s Message
on Education First Sept 26,’12
Our shared ideals are simple. We want all children to attend primary school and to
progress to secondary school and relevant higher education. We want them to
acquire the literacy, numeracy and critical-thinking skills that will help them to
succeed in life and live as engaged and productive global citizens.
This is a pivotal moment for collective action. The 2015 deadline for achieving the
internationally agreed goals for education is approaching fast. The achievements of
the past decade have shown what it takes to succeed: political will at the highest
levels, sound policies, and resources to scale up proven methods. But to achieve a
breakthrough, we will need an unprecedented mobilization of all traditional and new
partners.
Education First aims to rally a broad spectrum of actors to spur a global movement
to achieve quality, relevant and transformative education.
We must not deny the promise of quality education to any child. The stakes are too
high. When we put education first, we can end wasted potential—and look forward
to stronger and better societies for all.
