Launch of 2012 EFA Global Monitoring Report on Youth and Skills

16 October 2012, Bonn, Germany

On 16 October 2012, UNESCO launched the 2012 Education for All Global Monitoring Report ‘Youth and Skills: Putting education to work’ in Paris, France. Mr Shyamal Majumdar, Head of the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre, and his team attended the launch organized by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in Bonn, Germany.

The EFA Global Monitoring Report aims to inform, influence and sustain genuine commitment towards Education for All and it is the prime instrument to access global progress towards achieving the six EFA goals agreed in the World Education Forum in April 2000. The topic of this year’s report is youth and skills, and explores how to improve young people’s opportunities for decent jobs and capabilities for a better life. It provides statistics on all levels of education in more than 200 countries and territories, illustrating the progress towards the six EFA goals, and towards spending on education to finance the goals, particularly paying attention to the skills needs of young people around the globe.

A number of international organizations attended the launch in Bonn, including the German Commission for UNESCO and the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ). After a life stream of the launch in Paris, France, an in-depth panel discussion was held where participants discussed the development of youth education in the future and post-2015.
