UNICEF and UNESCO Launched Global Online Conversation

UNICEF and UNESCO launched today a “global online conversation” to ensure that education is effectively addressed as a priority in the post 2015 development agenda.

Quality Learning around the globe

UNICEF Check out for Children
The consultation aims to bring together youth, civil society, NGOs, academia, governments and the private sector to contribute their experiences and ideas on how to reach better, wider and more equitable access to quality learning around the globe.

As we approach 2015, there is an urgent need to review progress towards the Education for All and Millennium Development Goals and discuss new options on how they can be achieved.

A final summary report will then feed into the High Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda, as well as to the inter-governmental debate on the post-2015 development agenda at the 2013 UN General Assembly.

How to participate: On the public, open-access discussion forum you are welcome to discuss education-related issues you think should be a priority in the next development agenda. You are encouraged to post your ideas and thoughts as an individual or a group and share the voices of the people, organizations or communities you represent.

You can post your views, comments and recommendations in English or any of the 60 languages that the Google translator on the platform supports. For more information on how to register and participate, please visit: http://www.worldwewant2015.org/education2015
