 UNESCO believes that education is key to social and economic development. We work for a sustainable world with just societies that value knowledge, promote a culture of peace, celebrate diversity and defend human rights, achieved by providing education for all. The mission of the UNESCO Education Sector is to:
- Provide international leadership for creating learning societies with educational opportunities for all populations;
- Provide expertise and foster partnerships to strengthen national educational leadership and the capacity of countries to offer quality education for all.
UNESCO works as an intellectual leader, an honest broker, and clearinghouse for ideas, propelling both countries and the international community to accelerate progress towards these goals.

 Education systems in many of the world's poorest countries are now experiencing the aftershock of the global economic downturn. The 2010 Education for All Global Monitoring Report, released on 19 January, argues that the crisis could create a lost generation of children whose life chances will have been irreparably damaged by a failure to protect their right to education. The Report examines who these children are and why they are being left behind, and shows that the cost of providing Education for All is much higher than previously estimated. The report looks at concrete solutions for making sure that no children are excluded from schooling. Get the report and other relevant documents and data |
