EDUCATION IN CRISIS AND THE POST-2015 FRAMEWORK
#EducationFirst #yahuzameetup
On June 22, 2012, at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (RIO+20),
governments of countries agreed on a Future We Want outcome document which includes
commitments to certain sustainable development goals. However, how ambitious
these commitments are still remains a point of arguments amongst concerned
parties, and as we approach the post-2015 era we hope to amplify the voices of
people directly affected by poverty, injustice and their perspectives on a
future global post-2015 framework.
The role that quality education
(one of the SDGs, paragraph 229) plays in development emphasizes its capacity
to reverse the rate of poverty in Nigeria, while in recent years key correlates
of fragility in Nigeria include education.
