Transforming lives through education

At the World Education Forum (WEF) UNESCO will be leading the way, in collaboration with six co-conveners, to build a powerful new education agenda that will transform lives. The target date for reaching Education for All goals and the Millennium Development Goals is 2015 and governments are now preparing the new agenda.

  • Agree on a joint position for the education goal and targets in the post-2015 development agenda, which will be adopted by UN Member States at a Summit in September 2015
  • Agree on a comprehensive Framework for Action to guide and support the implementation of the future education agenda.
