Publisher's Synopsis
Over the past twenty-five years, high fertility rates and rapidly falling mortality rates, particularly infant mortality, have led to rapid population growth in developing countries. As a result, two education-related aspirations are driving two education policies, namely Education for All (EFA) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Piloted by the institutional mechanism on education since the 1990s in Jomthien (Thailand), a second meeting took place in 2000 in Dakar (Senegal).Indeed, these policies aim to achieve the affirmation of free basic education actions, by expressing the involvement of the social environment through quality education. "EFA and MDGs were programmed for a period of fifteen years to provide basic education throughout the world, a timeframe that has proved too short and has necessitated countries furthest from achieving these goals to relaunch themselves on a new trend".
