Education For All Through Voices of Children
SummaryText
Published by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), this 27-page publication shares children's own opinions about their educational situation.
From the Foreword
"The EFA [Education for All] week in 2004 was devoted to the problems and issues of children who have limited or no access to education. Central Asia was also a part of the global campaign. The issues and concerns for education are usually left to policy makers, practitioners, teachers, civil society organizations etc who make their views known on important calendar days. We have seldom heard children’s own opinions about their educational situation.
UNESCO tried to give the floor to the children this time around and to understand what they need and what their attitudes, preferences and opinions are. We hope that the voices of young people will be heeded."
