Higher Education and Research for
Reaching the Education for All Goals

A Project of the International Association of Universities
developed with the support of an international Reference
Group and partial funding from the Swedish agency SIDA
Introduction
• EFA?
   • World Declaration on Education for All, Jomtien, Thailand, 1990
   • Dakar Framework for Action, Dakar, Senegal, 2000
         •   6 EFA Goals: Early Childhood Care and Education; Free Universal Primary Education; Youth and
             Adult Life Skills; Adult Literacy Increased by Half; Gender Parity by 2005 and Gender Equality by
             2015; Quality Education
   • Jomtien 2nd Statement, Thailand, 2011
• MDGs?
   • United Nations Millennium Declaration, New York, US, 2000
         •   8 MDGs: Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger; Universal Primary Education; Gender Parity
             and Empowerment of Women; Reduce Child Mortality; Improve Maternal Health; Combat
             HIV/AID, Malaria; Ensure Environmental Sustainability; Develop Global Partnerships for
             Development
• Education First?
   • Initiative of the United Nations Secretary –General, 2012
         •   3 priority areas: Put every child in school; Improve the quality of learning; Foster global
             citizenship
• Impact of MDGs on EFA?
   • Poverty has overtaken Education
   • Focus only on UPE (EFA goal n. 2; MDG n. 2) with a pinch of girls’ education (EFA goal n.
     5, MDG n. 3), limiting the activity of the HE sector in EFA to, in most cases, teachers’ training
   • And would be the impact of Education First?
What has changed?
• Many programmes/projects/activities have taken and are taking place
• Progress has been registered in primary schooling and gender equity

• The United Nations’ Education For All (EFA) initiative is coming to an end
  in 2015
• But, according to the latest Global Monitoring Report (GMR), the 6 set
  objectives will not be met by 2015
• In some places, progress is receiding
• Education is not as high on the global agenda as it used to be
• But, Education First Initiative

• Necessity to evaluate what has/is done to be able to amend, scale-
  up, think differently
• Growing need for evidence-based data are needed and requested at
  both local and international levels
• Higher education included in Ministers ’ Statement for the first time
  (GEM, 2012)
Why higher education?
• The higher education sector as a sector and in all its missions
  has not systematically been involved in EFA until now
  • This does not include teachers’ training and individual
    consultancies
• To reach the EFA goals all the three primary missions
  (teaching; research and community service) of higher
  education institutions can be of help
• The higher education sector is generally not aware of the
  initiative, issues at stake, and how to proceed to help
• The higher education sector will be or is already, impacted by:
  • A growing number of secondary-school graduates;
  • The quality of pre-higher education schooling;
  • Reforms of teacher education
What are IAU’s objectives?
• To raise awareness of EFA within the higher education sector
• To increase the level of involvement of the higher education
  sector in EFA-related issues and in all three HE missions (not
  only teachers’ training)
• To improve the visibility of higher education’s role and
  activities in/for EFA within and outside the higher education
  sector, locally and internationally
• To create a higher education community for EFA
• To help reach EFA
• To help the higher education sector deal with the impact of
  EFA : enrolment, quality, bogus
  universities, rankings, employment, brain drain, etc…
• Reflect and share its position on the post-2015 agenda
Visual for IAU Project
All age groups are offered and enjoy the possibility of education
What is the project doing?
• Community Building
  • Starting from an enlarged Reference Group based on a call for
    participation, the development of a community of higher
    education for EFA and its associated tools (blog, facebook
    wall, tweets) and services (Q/A, meetings) is sought;
  • The HEEFA Portal aims to be the main-entry point for data
    collection and information on higher education
    projects, publications (in particular theses) and experts for EFA.
    www.heefa.net
  • Published on a quarterly-basis, the HEEFA Newsletter reaches
    over 800 subscribers,.

               EFA Goals as represented in the Reference Group
Other research themes include: education in emergencies; school psychology; affirmative
      action; educational policies; curriculum development; teachers’ training; etc.
What is the project doing?
• Commitment Building
  • A charter or equivalent document will be developed to guide
    higher education’s commitment and activities to advance higher
    education participation in support of EFA. It will serve as a
    working document for the Group and a charter model for higher
    education institutions, a sign/logo will be developed to identify
    HEIs for EFA;
  • Thematic sub-groups, each possibly headed by a ‘champion’, will
    be set up. They would research topics that emerged from the
    discussions at the IAU Innovation Conference: reading;
    marginalised populations; and quality education, or be more
    general, looking at the evaluation and way forward for EFA pre
    and post 2015, analyse new positions such as skills vs/beside
    education, etc.
What is the project doing?
• Pilot and Experts’ Seminar
  • Objective: to know if higher education institutions were contributing
    to EFA, if such a contribution was possible, desirable, and should it be
    developed, sustained or not.
  • It ended with a Seminar in Maputo, Mozambique iwhere the
    projects’ findings revealing that little was yet known and more light
    still needed to be shed were discussed as well as what should be
    done next.
• Pre-Project and Innovation Conference
  • Two principal activities: capacity building (reference group of
    experts; capacity building sessions) and information tools
    (Information Kit; HEEFA Portal).
  • It ended with an Innovation Conference in Paris, France to evaluate
    the progress concerning better inclusion of higher
    education/research in EFA, review the project's outcomes, discuss
    issues and constraints, and explore ways forward.

             30 participants
Innovation Conference, Paris, France
            60 participants
What is the project doing?
• Capacity Building
  • A model was developed based on the results of the two pilot
    capacity building sessions which took place within the IAU 2008-
    2010 project on the topic. The capacity building sessions aim:
     • to inform both the higher education community of what EFA is and
       the other EFA stakeholders of what higher education can bring to
       EFA,
     • to subsequently identify local needs and higher education’s possible
       intervention(s), and
     • to end with a commonly agreed upon document for a way forward.
  • To support the dynamic created by the capacity building sessions
    after the actual session, a set of activities will be developed in
    collaboration with the hosting partners and, when possible, with
    the participants of each session. The activities will follow the
    recommendations collectively agreed upon at each session and
    will consequently differ from one country to another.
What is the project doing?
• IAU’s capacity building approach to involving the higher education
  sector in EFA is:
  • Participant-centred
      • Questionnaire/Workshops with IAU intervening only as facilitator
  • Inclusive
      • All EFA stakeholders at the national level are invited
  • Based on Dialogue
      • Mixed groups including every categories of stakeholders + HEIs
      • Commonly agreed-upon way forward
  • Result-focused
      • All activities leading/aiming at the validation of a way forward
  • Embedded in a process
      • Pre and post-workshop activities
  • Local but not closed
      • With experts from other regions

Main Results to Date
• Growing awareness of the need to more systematically involve higher
  education institutions at local, regional and international levels
   • Invitation to IAU to participate in EFA High Level Meeting in Jomtien, Thailand
     in 2011.

   • A lack of information (HEEFA portal quite empty, difficulty to know who is
     doing what and where)
   • Need for evidence-based data to evaluate progress to date and consider
     possible ways forward
Expectations
• The capacity building model developed for encouraging more
  interactions between the traditional EFA stakeholders and the
  HE sector is widely taken up as such or adapted;
• Information on HE projects and research results is made
  available and accessible to all
• Research on pre and post-2015 issues is developing
• Higher education institutions are given the means to better
  interact with the other EFA stakeholders
• HE institutions’ possible role in EFA is recognised and valued
• The community of HE for EFA is expanding
• More EFA goals are reached
• The HE sector is prepared for EFA knock-on effects

IAU HEEFA Workshop

  • 1. Higher Education and Research for Reaching the Education for All Goals A Project of the International Association of Universities developed with the support of an international Reference Group and partial funding from the Swedish agency SIDA
  • 2. Introduction • EFA? • World Declaration on Education for All, Jomtien, Thailand, 1990 • Dakar Framework for Action, Dakar, Senegal, 2000 • 6 EFA Goals: Early Childhood Care and Education; Free Universal Primary Education; Youth and Adult Life Skills; Adult Literacy Increased by Half; Gender Parity by 2005 and Gender Equality by 2015; Quality Education • Jomtien 2nd Statement, Thailand, 2011 • MDGs? • United Nations Millennium Declaration, New York, US, 2000 • 8 MDGs: Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger; Universal Primary Education; Gender Parity and Empowerment of Women; Reduce Child Mortality; Improve Maternal Health; Combat HIV/AID, Malaria; Ensure Environmental Sustainability; Develop Global Partnerships for Development • Education First? • Initiative of the United Nations Secretary –General, 2012 • 3 priority areas: Put every child in school; Improve the quality of learning; Foster global citizenship • Impact of MDGs on EFA? • Poverty has overtaken Education • Focus only on UPE (EFA goal n. 2; MDG n. 2) with a pinch of girls’ education (EFA goal n. 5, MDG n. 3), limiting the activity of the HE sector in EFA to, in most cases, teachers’ training • And would be the impact of Education First?
  • 3. What has changed? • Many programmes/projects/activities have taken and are taking place • Progress has been registered in primary schooling and gender equity • The United Nations’ Education For All (EFA) initiative is coming to an end in 2015 • But, according to the latest Global Monitoring Report (GMR), the 6 set objectives will not be met by 2015 • In some places, progress is receiding • Education is not as high on the global agenda as it used to be • But, Education First Initiative • Necessity to evaluate what has/is done to be able to amend, scale- up, think differently • Growing need for evidence-based data are needed and requested at both local and international levels • Higher education included in Ministers ’ Statement for the first time (GEM, 2012)
  • 4. Why higher education? • The higher education sector as a sector and in all its missions has not systematically been involved in EFA until now • This does not include teachers’ training and individual consultancies • To reach the EFA goals all the three primary missions (teaching; research and community service) of higher education institutions can be of help • The higher education sector is generally not aware of the initiative, issues at stake, and how to proceed to help • The higher education sector will be or is already, impacted by: • A growing number of secondary-school graduates; • The quality of pre-higher education schooling; • Reforms of teacher education
  • 5. What are IAU’s objectives? • To raise awareness of EFA within the higher education sector • To increase the level of involvement of the higher education sector in EFA-related issues and in all three HE missions (not only teachers’ training) • To improve the visibility of higher education’s role and activities in/for EFA within and outside the higher education sector, locally and internationally • To create a higher education community for EFA • To help reach EFA • To help the higher education sector deal with the impact of EFA : enrolment, quality, bogus universities, rankings, employment, brain drain, etc… • Reflect and share its position on the post-2015 agenda
  • 6. Visual for IAU Project All age groups are offered and enjoy the possibility of education
  • 7. What is the project doing? • Community Building • Starting from an enlarged Reference Group based on a call for participation, the development of a community of higher education for EFA and its associated tools (blog, facebook wall, tweets) and services (Q/A, meetings) is sought; • The HEEFA Portal aims to be the main-entry point for data collection and information on higher education projects, publications (in particular theses) and experts for EFA. www.heefa.net • Published on a quarterly-basis, the HEEFA Newsletter reaches over 800 subscribers,.
  • 8. Africa Americas Asia Europe Regions as represented within the Reference Group Voluntary focus on Africa and all regions represented + 2 persons from IAU

  • 10. What is the project doing? • Commitment Building • A charter or equivalent document will be developed to guide higher education’s commitment and activities to advance higher education participation in support of EFA. It will serve as a working document for the Group and a charter model for higher education institutions, a sign/logo will be developed to identify HEIs for EFA; • Thematic sub-groups, each possibly headed by a ‘champion’, will be set up.

  • 14. What is the project doing? • Capacity Building • A model was developed based on the results of the two pilot capacity building sessions which took place within the IAU 2008- 2010 project on the topic. The capacity building sessions aim: • to inform both the higher education community of what EFA is and the other EFA stakeholders of what higher education can bring to EFA, • to subsequently identify local needs and higher education’s possible intervention(s), and • to end with a commonly agreed upon document for a way forward. • To support the dynamic created by the capacity building sessions after the actual session, a set of activities will be developed in collaboration with the hosting partners and, when possible, with the participants of each session. The activities will follow the recommendations collectively agreed upon at each session and will consequently differ from one country to another.
