The Colloquium, organised jointly by the UK National Commission for UNESCO and the UK Forum for International Education and Training, will be held on Monday 26 January 2009, at the Jeffery Hall, The Institute of Education, University of London.
The 2009 GMR maps out the multiple facets of equity, equality and the quality of education and the questions that governments, donors, civil society and the private sector can and must address in attempting to ensure that the benefits of education are shared by the poor and the disadvantaged groups and regions that are being left out of education and training.
The purpose of the Colloquium is to:
- To present the report and its findings,
- To subject the report and the specific themes within it to critical review and discussion
- To identify how UK-based stakeholders can support progress in the areas covered by the report towards EFA by 2015
Kevin Watkins, the Director of the GMR Team, will present the Report and its findings. Distinguished plenary speakers will respond to help the ensuing debate. In the afternoon there will be discussion groups lead by facilitators.
