Regional consultations are planned leading up to a global meeting which will probably be held in Senegal in mid-February 2013.
The first regional consultation will take place in Sharm-el-Sheikh from 16-19 October and the regional consultation for the Africa Region will be held in Johannesburg from 16-20 October. Other consultations are planned for the Asia and Pacific and Europe/North American Regions but the dates are undecided. They will all take place in the context of the Education for All (EFA) reviews. Further information should be available from UNESCO or UNICEF Country Offices.
Other opportunities for input
On-line global consultation will take place to gather the voices of (a) Children and Youth and (b) Teachers, Academics, Experts and CSOs. No call for papers is planned but a repository of existing literature on Education in the post-2015 agenda will be developed.
