EDUCATION FOR ALL GLOBAL MONITORING REPORT 2006
SPECIAL THEME: LITERACY
External Consultation Outline
28 February 2005
(Draft, not for quotation)
This is a preliminary outline of the Report, written in narrative form, designed to invite comment
from our many and different stakeholders. As with past Reports, there will be discussion
both of general progress toward Education for All goals and of a special theme, literacy, which
corresponds to the Dakar goals. Comments are invited on any aspect of the Report outline,
although the moderated online consultation will be limited to the literacy theme (Chapters 1 and
4-7). The Report Team undertakes to consider all comments carefully; appropriate to the Reports
independence; however, the final Report will not necessarily reflect all comments nor will it
necessarily be organized in the same order as this consultation outline. Meanwhile, the Team has
commissioned background papers on many of the issues raised in this outline and also a series of
country case studies.
