The Education for All Global Monitoring Report is the prime instrument to assess global progress towards achieving the six 'Dakar' EFA goals to which over 160 countries committed themselves in 2000. The Report tracks progress, identifies effective policy reforms and best practice in all areas relating to EFA, draws attention to emerging challenges and seeks to promote international cooperation in favour of education.
The broad aims of the Report are set out in its Vision Statement.
This Report seeks to inform policy and spur heightened political commitment towards education for all. Its mandate is also to help in the process of keeping all parties accountable for promises made in 2000. The publication is targeted at decision-makers at the national and international level, and more broadly, at all those engaged in promoting the right to quality education – teachers, civil society groups, NGOs, researchers and the international community.
Whilst the report has an annual agenda for reporting progress on each of the six EFA goals, each edition also adopts a particular theme, chosen because of its central importance to the EFA process.
The current 2006 Report, Literacy for Life, focuses on literacy as a basic human right and the foundation of learning.
The 2005 Report, The Quality Imperative, examined the need to improve the quality of education by improving teaching and the learning experience.
