Under the theme of Teaching and Learning, ministry officials, academics and EFA partners in Asia-Pacific will meet at the national launch of the 2013/4 EFA Global Monitoring Report.
“An education system is only as good as its teachers. Unlocking their potential is essential to enhancing the quality of learning,” says the 2013/4 Education for All Global Monitoring Report. The report puts the spotlight on the importance of implementing strong policies to unlock the full potential of teachers.
A presentation on the global and regional findings of the 2013/4 EFA Global Monitoring Report was delivered by Mr. Min Bista, UNESCO Bangkok and a presentation on the national EFA progress was delivered by Ms. Churairat Sangboonnum, Deputy Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Thailand and Secretary General of the Thai National Commission for UNESCO.
