EDUCATION FOR ALL

Education should be more than just a privilege, it should be a right. A right that should be bestowed upon all individuals. Every person deserves an education, an education that would help one to better themselves in a world that makes them face many trails. This is exactly what the Education for All initiative stands for. Education for All was first introduces in April 2000 to the global community who met up to discuss ways in which the education can be transformed and improved. Goals were set for the movement launch. These goals are:

EDUCATION FOR ALL

• To expand early childhood care and education.• To provide free and compulsory primary education to all.• To promote learning and life skills for young people and adults.• To Increase adult literacy by 50 present.• To achieve gender parity by 2005, gender equality by 2015.• To improve the quality of education

EDUCATION FOR ALL

As soon as the goals were made, action had to be taken to meet those goals. Enrolment's to schools and free primary school education had gone up in numbers and increased but gender parity failed to meet its goal by the specified year 2005. Free education, still remains as an unmet goal. The quality of education has also not been met, another goal that has not persisted is the sending and employing of qualified teachers into schools. Resulting in schools being left with skill less teachers who do not have the required teacher training to educate. Education for All is a brilliant initiative but in order for it to be successful every person needs to play their part and contribute to the cause in every way possible.
