AU Outlook on Education: Continental Report 2012

Ministers of education meet biannually to take stock of the implementation of this Plan of Action and make decisions on how to address shortfalls and agree on strategic responses. This year's review falls in mid-decade, and hence it is important in determining the appropriate responses for achieving the plan's goals for the second half of the decade.
This continental report on the status of implementation aims to provide a picture of the actions taken at the continental, regional and national levels to execute the Plan of Action of the Second Decade. Although it is premature to determine the impact of the Decade on educational development on the continent, this report begins to offer some appropriate lessons for the second half of the Second Decade of Education for Africa.
