Global Monitoring Report
The fifth edition of the EFA Global Monitoring Report assessed the progress towards the first EFA goal, which calls upon countries to expand and improve comprehensive early childhood
care and education, especially for the most disadvantaged children. Such interventions are crucial to improving children’s present well-being and future development.
The findings of the 2007 EFA Global Monitoring Report remind us there is no place for complacency. We have a collective responsibility to ensure quality education for all, a responsibility that begins by providing strong foundations for children in the first years of life and continues through adulthood. Only by taking a comprehensive approach that encompasses all the EFA goals and society’s most fragile and vulnerable members can this mission be honoured.
