World Education Forum 2015 : Final Report

Abstract

This report reflects the spirit of Incheon -one of rich debate, experience-sharing, innovation and partnership, expressed through a wide range of sessions, encompassing key themes that must be addressed to drive progress. By adopting the Incheon Declaration, ‘Education 2030: Towards Inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all’, Member States and the global community demonstrated their commitment to a single, renewed education agenda that is holistic, ambitious and inspirational, leaving no one behind. The goal is to realise everyone’s right to education as a fundamental dimension of human, social and economic development. Evidence shows there is no stronger, no more lasting, investment a country can make than educating its citizens. Education is the path to sustainability – to poverty alleviation, better health, environmental protection and gender equality. Every effort must be made to guarantee that the goal and targets are reached. The Education 2030 Framework for Action shows the way to implement, coordinate, finance and monitor the goal, in order to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.
