The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training cordially invites the media to the launching of 2014 Education For All Global Monitoring Report, to be held at the British Council, on Thursday 15 May, 2014, at 0900 am.

The Report Theme is:  “Teaching and Learning: Achieving quality for all” will be launched by Hon Minister for Education and Vocational Training, Dr. Shukuru Kawambwa.

The report note that Quality teachers and their shortage is the key problem in the efforts to provide children with quality education. Teachers ‘motivation, level of knowledge, skills and training as well as their teaching practices in classrooms have been contributing much in the children’s poor performance in schools. All these need to be addressed to ensure equal quality education opportunities to all children.

The report shows that:  With the deadline for the Education for All goals less than two years away, it is clear that, despite advances over the past decade, not a single goal will be achieved globally by 2015 and so it is vital to put in place a robust global post-2015 education framework to tackle unfinished business while addressing new challenges. .
