When Education International’s Executive Board members meet for the 43rd time today in Brussels, a number of important decisions will have to be made, including about next year’s Seventh World Congress and an evaluation of the Unite for Quality Education campaign.
From 21–23 Oct., Education International’s (EI) Executive Board members convene in the "capital of Europe" to delve into the upcoming year’s business.
As planning for next year’s Seventh World Congress continues to ramp up, every detail of the event, confirmed for 21-26 July, 2015 in Ottawa, Canada, will be given close attention by EI’s governing bodies. Representatives of the hosting organisations, EI's affiliates in Canada, will join the meetings to discuss the evolving planning.
One year after the Unite for Quality Education Campaign’s official launch, the EI Executive Board will assess its impact to date and plan how it will be taken further during the lead-up to the United Nations’ decision on the post-2015 development agenda.
Other items on the agenda to be addressed will include issues in global current affairs, such as the developing situation in Ukraine, the Ebola crisis in West Africa, as well as upcoming world conferences on education, including the International Summit on the Teaching Profession, to be held next March in Banff, Canada.
