Since I haven't heard back from my contact :( I decided to do the alternative option of the blog assignment. By visiting the Unesco website I went to the education tab and I was thrilled by reading about "Education for All ", a global movement committed to provide education for children, youth and adults. The movement consist of 6 international goals that they want to be met by 2015, 15 years since its origin on 2000.
The six goals are :
Goal 1
Expanding and improving comprehensive early childhood care and education, especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children

Goal 2Ensuring that by 2015 all children, particularly girls, children in difficult circumstances and those belonging to ethnic minorities, have access to, and complete, free and compulsory primary education of good quality.
Goal 3
Ensuring that the learning needs of all young people and adults are met through equitable access to appropriate learning and life-skills programmes
Ensuring that the learning needs of all young people and adults are met through equitable access to appropriate learning and life-skills programmes
Goal 4
Achieving a 50 per cent improvement in levels of adult literacy by 2015, especially for women, and equitable access to basic and continuing education for all adults.

Goal 5
Eliminating gender disparities in primary and secondary education by 2005, and achieving gender equality in education by 2015, with a focus on ensuring girls’ full and equal access to and achievement in basic education of good quality.

Goal 6
Improving all aspects of the quality of education and ensuring excellence of all so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially in literacy, numeracy and essential life skills.

The six goals of the Education for All are aligned with my professional goals because they are targeted to provide quality education for children youth h and adults. For this they need to count with qualify and committed individuals. I love this project because besides providing education for children it will gives adults the opportunity to competed their education , therefore they will be ableot get a job and provide to their families , diminishing the levels of poverty around the world.
Great to hear that UNESCO is not only focusing on children but on young adults and adults too. I do hope that they will achieve all their goals by 2015, they have 3 more years left... Thanks for the information!
