The Education for All Global Monitoring Report (GMR) is published annually by an independent team of experts and UNESCO, highlighting progress in achieving the Education for All (EFA) goals. The most recent report (2012) focusses on youth and skills they need for life, while the upcoming 2013/14 report is entitled “Learning and Teaching”, and will illustrate the role of education in long-term development in a changing world.
The GMR Advisory Board meeting was held in January 2013, and examined lessons learned from the 2012 report and progress of the 2013/14 report. Arne Carlsen, Director of UIL, made a strong case for a holistic approach to teaching and learning, and advocated the inclusion of trainers in the non-formal sector, adult education practitioners, and literacy teachers.
The Board also discussed post-2015 strategies, including the “Looking Ahead: the GMR after 2015” report, to be launched prior to the EFA Global Conference in the Republic of Korea in April 2015 and which will include a stocktaking of progress made across the entire EFA process from 2000 to 2015.
