The Regional Bureau’s Education Support Strategy 2010-2013
Contextualizing the Education Sector objectives of the Medium-Term Strategy into the Asia-Pacific context, UNESCO Bangkok published in 2010 its “Education Support Strategy 2010-2013”. This strategy defines for the ED Sector three “regional strategic programme objectives”:
- Support evidence-based advocacy to increase political commitment and financial resources for EFA;
- Strengthen national capacity in evidence-based policy development, planning and management to achieve quality education for all;
- Foster knowledge sharing and North-South-South co-operation in pursuit of quality education for all and for sustainable development.
