DESCRIPTION
The world conference on Education for All was held at Jomtein, 5-9 March 1990 to draw the attention of the world nations to the importance and impact of basic education, and to forge a global consensus and commitment to provide basic education for all. The Jomtein Conference saw basic education as a pre-requisite for the sustainable development of societies. The 155 participating governments then committed themselves to renewed efforts to provide primary education for all children and massively reduce adult illiteracy in the year 2000. In 1995-96, a worldwide review of progress towards Education for All has been carried out at country; regional and global levels the focal point for promoting and monitoring follow-up to the Jomtein Conference. The results of this review were examined and discussed at the Mid-Decade Meeting of the International Consultative Forum on Education for All, Amman, Jordan, 16-19 June 1996. The result of this meeting is 'The Amman Affirmation'- Education for All: Achieving the Goal. This publication includes the documents related to the Jomtein Conference, EFA-9 summit, The Amman Affirmation, the Policy Review Seminars along with Is- sues and Trends in Education For All which will be of great use to policy makers, educationists, researchers, students and social service activists.
