Children at risk of marginalization in education
are found in all societies. At first glance, the
lives of these children may appear poles apart.
The daily experiences of slum dwellers in Kenya,
ethnic minority children in Viet Nam and a
Roma child in Hungary are very different. What
they have in common are missed opportunities
to develop their potential, realize their hopes
and build a better future through education.
A decade has passed since world leaders adopted
the Education for All goals. While progress has
been made, millions of children are still missing
out on their right to education. Reaching the
marginalized identifies some of the root causes
of disadvantage, both within education and
beyond, and provides examples of targeted
policies and practices that successfully combat
exclusion. Set against the backdrop of the
global economic crisis, the Report calls for a
renewed financing commitment by aid donors
and recipient governments alike to meet the
Education for All goals by 2015.
This is the eighth edition of the annual EFA
Global Monitoring Report. The Report includes
statistical indicators on all levels of education
in more than 200 countries and territories, and
serves as an authoritative reference for education
policy-makers, development specialists,
researchers and the media.

The quality of education is so insufficient in
several regions of the world that many countries
will fall short of achieving the Education for All
(EFA) goals by the target date of 2015.
The Quality Imperative report provides a detailed
analysis of factors influencing the quality of
education, including financial and material
resources for schools, the number of teachers
and their training, core subjects, pedagogy,
language, the amount of actual learning time,
facilities and leadership. It presents case studies
from 11 countries (Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada,
Chile, Cuba, Egypt, Finland, Republic of
Korea, Senegal, South Africa and Sri Lanka)
showing how both rich and developing nations
are tackling the issue of quality. An Education
Development Index measures the overall progress
of 127 countries towards the 6 EFA goals: early
childhood care and education; youth and adult
learning; gender; universal primary education;
literacy, and quality of education.

The sixth edition of the EFA Global Monitoring
Report marks the midterm point in the
international commitment to provide a quality
education to all by 2015. It assesses progress
towards expanding early childhood learning
programmes, achieving free and universal
primary education, realizing gender parity and
gender equality in education, reducing adult
illiteracy and improving education quality. It
highlights innovative projects and strategies,
and underscores the urgency of pushing forward
with a common agenda for action.The 2008
Report notes some real gains, especially in
getting more children into primary school.
Many governments have taken measures to
reduce the cost of schooling and tackle obstacles
to girls’ education. But great challenges remain.
There are not enough schools, teachers and
learning materials. Poverty and disadvantage
remain a major barrier for millions of children
and youth. Policies exist that address both
access and quality, but they require much bolder
action, from the earliest age, to reach the most
vulnerable groups and dramatically expand
literacy programmes for youth and adults.
With statistical indicators on all levels of
education in over 200 countries and territories
as well as an in-depth analysis of international
aid to education, it offers a valuable reference
and working tool for policy makers and
planners, education specialists, development
experts, advocacy groups and those working in
bilateral and multilateral agencies.
