An e-discussion on Education:
Closing the Gap is being held from 1 February to 4 March, organised by
the Department for Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and
the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the UN Development
Group’s MDG-Net forum.
The e-discussion is an open, multi-stakeholder forum for academia, policy-makers and practitioners to
discuss a series of questions pertaining to the achievement of
education and learning for all and for formulating concrete, actionable
recommendations for consideration by the Economic and Social Council’s
(ECOSOC) Annual Ministerial Review. If you are Soroptimist with this
skill set, this may be of interest to you.
The e-discussion will focus on the following three topics:
- Quality in Education and Learning
- Access to Education
- Innovation in Education
An
outcome document will be prepared summarising the ideas and action
agenda produced by the e-discussion, which will be presented at the
Global Preparatory Meeting (April 2011) and ECOSOC’s Substantive Session
in Geneva (July 2011).
