Abstract

This chapter reviews developments in education and training since World War II, suggesting that education will have to change is it is going to be effective in such a changed and changing world. It looks at the goal of education for all (EFA), which has been a priority for decades. The author contends that it is now urgent for institutions such as UNESCO to find the means of achieving that goal or to change the priorities of EFA, given that for millions of people the achievement of EFA offers their major hope of release from exclusion, repression and deprivation. EFA should thus be seen as a strategy and process which aims to achieve poverty eradication and greater equity and justice in societies. A broader concept of EFA to include all the varied forms of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) provides new possibilities.
