Education for All

Education for All is a global commitment to ensure that all children and adults have access to quality education. It is based on the belief that education is a fundamental human right and a key driver of social and economic development. The concept of Education for All was first articulated in the Jomtien World Conference on Education for All in 1990. It has since been reaffirmed in various international declarations and agreements.

Key principles of Education for All:

  • Universal Access: All children and adults should have access to education, regardless of their gender, age, race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status.
  • Quality Education: Education should be relevant, equitable, and meet the needs of all learners.
  • Life-long Learning: Education should be a continuous process that extends beyond formal schooling.

Education for All is essential for achieving sustainable development, reducing poverty, and promoting social justice. It empowers individuals, communities, and nations to reach their full potential.
