1 09/02/2015 Ref.: CL/4093 Subject: Invitation to the World Education Forum 2015 (Incheon, Republic of Korea, May 2015) Dear Minister, It is my honour to invite you to the World Education Forum 2015, which will take place in Incheon (Republic of Korea) from 19 to 22 May marks the target date set by the global education community at the World Education Forum (WEF), held in Dakar (Senegal) in April 2000, for reaching the six Education for All (EFA) goals. It is also the deadline for reaching the Millennium Development Goals established by the international community. With this in mind, UNESCO is organizing this milestone event, which is being hosted by the Government of the Republic of Korea, jointly with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) and the World Bank. Although great achievements have been made in expanding educational opportunities worldwide over the past 15 years, most of the EFA goals have not been reached. In the years to come, we must ensure the achievement of the unfinished EFA agenda, as well as address new challenges effectively. These two aspects have been dealt with through the efforts by the education community over the last two years, to develop a universal, holistic and transformative post education agenda through a broad and inclusive consultation process. This effort culminated in the adoption of the Muscat Agreement at the 2014 Global EFA Meeting in Oman. Following this, a comprehensive proposal for the Sustainable Development Goals was put forward by the United Nations Open Working Group (OWG), containing one goal and several targets on education, of which the scope and formulation were informed by the Muscat Agreement. The OWG s education goal also is included in the synthesis report of the United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, on the post-2015 sustainable development agenda. Entitled The Road to Dignity by 2030: Ending Poverty, Transforming All Lives and Protecting the Planet, it sets the direction for the current intergovernmental negotiations leading to the formulation of the agenda. 7, place de Fontenoy Paris 07 SP, France Tél. : +33 (0) Fax : +33 (0) To Ministers of Education and Higher Education of all Member States and Ministers of Development Cooperation of the OECD countries
2 CL/4093 page 2 The World Education Forum 2015 will take stock of achievements and shortfalls, since 2000, in the implementation of the EFA and education-related MDG goals, and agree on a joint position and Framework for Action for finalizing the education goal and targets in the post-2015 sustainable development agenda that is expected to be adopted by United Nations Member States at the Special Summit on Sustainable Development in September It is my sincere hope, therefore, that we will work together with all the stakeholders who have been united in the EFA movement since 1990, in order to strengthen our alliance further and make the WEF a decisive and far-reaching event. I should be grateful if your participation could be confirmed, by 28 February 2015 at the latest, to Mr Qian Tang, Assistant Director-General for Education (tel: ; fax: ; WEF2015@unesco.org). I invite you kindly to have your response sent using the form attached hereto, containing the names, titles and addresses of all your delegation members, so that we may facilitate the online registration process. I look forward to your positive response and to our close cooperation up to, and beyond, May 2015, in ensuring that education has a central place in the post sustainable development agenda, and that each person s right to education is fulfilled by 2030 at the latest. Yours sincerely, Irina Bokova Director-General cc: Permanent Delegations to UNESCO National Commissions for UNESCO Enclosures: 2 Draft Concept Note World Education Forum 2015 Pre-Registration Form
3 World Education Forum May, Incheon, Republic of Korea 1. Introduction Draft Concept Note 9 February is the target date for reaching the Education for All goals and the education-related Millennium Development Goals. In April 2000, the participants of the World Education Forum in Dakar, Senegal, adopted the Dakar Framework for Action Education for All: Meeting our Collective Commitment 1. They reaffirmed the vision of the World Declaration on Education for All 2 adopted ten years earlier (Jomtien, Thailand, 1990) and committed to the attainment of six goals, supported by 12 strategies, in order to meet the basic learning needs of all children, youth and adults. In September 2000, world leaders came together at the United Nations Headquarters in New York to adopt the UN Millennium Declaration, committing to reduce extreme poverty and setting out a series of targets that have become known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and included two goals related to universal primary education and to gender equality in education, acknowledging the pivotal role of education in human development. Today, it is widely recognized that the Education for All (EFA) agenda and the related MDGs have led to significant advances for the right to education. The mobilization and investment which they triggered since their establishment yielded unprecedented progress, notably with regards to access to formal schooling and to gender parity in primary education. However, major education issues are persisting in all countries and regions of the world. Some of them - notably equity, quality and learning opportunities for youth and adults - have still not received the attention they deserve and new ones have emerged since 2000, such as the need to improve the development of skills for life and for work, for all age groups. For these reasons, national governments and other stakeholders have mandated UNESCO since 2011 to initiate deliberations with Member States on the EFA objectives to be defined for the post-2015 period 3. These broad-based and inclusive consultations, which included the UN Thematic consultation on Education in the post-2015 development agenda co-led by UNESCO and UNICEF, were notably conducted through the existing EFA coordination mechanisms at sub-regional, regional and global levels. They culminated in the Muscat Agreement, adopted at the 2014 Global EFA Meeting in Oman and representing a shared vision of the global community of education for the future. 1 Dakar Framework for Action Education for All: Meeting our Collective Commitment, UNESCO World Declaration on Education for All, UNESCO Decisions adopted by the Executive Board at its 186th Session, Item 6. II - Progress and challenges in achieving the education for all (EFA) goals by 2015, UNESCO, June
4 This important agreement informed the standalone goal and targets on education proposed by the UN Open Working Group and decided by the UN General Assembly as the basis for integrating sustainable development goals into the post-2015 development agenda. The UN Secretary-General s Synthesis report on the post 2015 sustainable development agenda proposes one universal and transformative agenda for sustainable development, underpinned by rights, that is people-centred and planet-sensitive. UNESCO, jointly with UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF, UN Women and the World Bank Group as co-conveners, is inviting world leaders in education, and key stakeholders to a milestone event, the World Education Forum (WEF) The Forum, to be hosted by the Government of the Republic of Korea, will be held from 19 to 22 May 2015 in the city of Incheon. The WEF s outcome will be fully aligned to the education goal and targets of the global development agenda to be adopted at the UN High-Level Summit in September 2015, so as to have one single education agenda for This requires continued strong engagement and support of governments and all other education partners to ensure that the future education agenda is holistic and transformative and that its targets are achievable and measurable. 2. Objectives The objectives of the WEF 2015 are to 1. Take stock of achievements and shortfalls in the implementation of the Dakar Framework for Action and the education-related MDGs during the period Agree on a joint position for the education goal and targets in the post-2015 development agenda, which will be adopted by UN Member States at a Summit in September Agree on a comprehensive Framework for Action to guide and support the implementation of the future education agenda. 3. Preparations Preparations for the WEF 2015 are being conducted by UNESCO in close collaboration with Member States and all partners notably the EFA co-convening agencies through the EFA Steering Committee 4. The NGO Forum to be held on 18 and 19 May 2015, just prior to the main event, is organized in close collaboration with the Coordination Group of UNESCO s Collective Consultation of NGOs on EFA (CCNGO/EFA). A Joint UNESCO-Republic of Korea Preparatory Committee ensures effective communication and coordination during the preparatory process, in particular with regard to logistical arrangements EFA 2015 Reviews The WEF 2015 will be informed by the reports of the National EFA 2015 Reviews which over 120 countries have already undertaken since July 2013 in order to assess their progress towards achieving 4 The EFA Steering Committee is composed of Member States representing all six regional groups of UNESCO, the E-9 initiative, and the host country of the WEF 2015; and representatives of the five EFA convening agencies (UNESCO, UNICEF, UNFPA, UNDP and the World Bank); the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Global Partnership for Education, civil society, the teaching profession and the private sector. 2
5 EFA and to identify priorities for advancing the transformation of national education systems in order to better contribute to equitable and sustainable development in diverse contexts and in view of emerging new challenges. Regional review reports analyse the key findings of the national reports, and a global synthesis will be presented to the WEF Preparatory Meetings In the run-up to the Forum, Regional Ministerial Preparatory Conferences have taken place in each region, as well as for the E-9 countries, as follows: - Asia-Pacific: 6-8 August, Bangkok, Thailand - Latin America and the Caribbean: October 2014, Lima, Peru - Tenth E-9 Ministerial Meeting: November 2014, Islamabad, Pakistan - Arab Region: January 2015, Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt - Africa: 9-11 February 2015, Kigali, Rwanda - Europe and North America: February 2015, Paris, France These conferences provided regional perspectives and recommendations for education beyond 2015 and contribute to the elaboration of the Framework for Action. The World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) held in Nagoya, Japan, from 10 to 12 November 2014, was another important milestone on the road to the WEF which highlighted the importance of including ESD in the post-2015 development agenda. 3.3 Development of the Framework for Action A Framework for Action is being prepared by the EFA Steering Committee, to be agreed upon at the WEF 2015, and which will guide and support the implementation of the future global education agenda. It will define the coordination and monitoring mechanisms related to the post-2015 education agenda at global and regional levels as well as mechanisms related to partnerships, financing and governance and accountability. The development of the Framework is based on discussions at the regional conferences and other consultations with Member States and stakeholders. 3.4 Documents The main documents for the WEF 2015 will be the following: Provisional Programme 2015 EFA Global Monitoring Report (GMR) Global Synthesis of the National EFA 2015 Review Reports Draft Framework for Action Recommendations from the Regional Ministerial Preparatory Conferences (5 Statements) and from the E-9 Conference Rethinking Education in a Changing World a UNESCO Report.
