Mr. Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, and Ms. Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, launched the 2010 EFA (Education for All) Global Monitoring Report, “Reaching the Marginalized”, at UN headquarters in New York on 19 January, 2010

Persistent inequalities linked to poverty, gender, ethnicity and language are holding back progress in education, wasting human potential and undermining prosperity. This has been all worsened by the global economic downturn and its aftershocks, which is continuing to leave a lost generation of children excluded from schooling. Lost opportunities for education, however, hinder economic growth and efforts to reduce poverty and improve health, highlights the report.

This is the eighth edition of EFA Global Monitoring Report developed annually since 2002 by an independent team and published by UNESCO. The Report includes statistical indicators on all levels of education in more than 200 countries and territories, and serves as an authoritative reference for education policy-makers, development specialists, researchers and the media.
