EDUCATION…Right to Education
Goal: Quality education for all and lifelong learning
The UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (NatCom) believes that each Filipino has the right to quality education as a crucial factor in development.
NatCom adheres to:
Capacity-building: Provide a platform for intellectual and thought leadership for educational innovation and reform.
Laboratory of ideas: Anticipate and respond to emerging trends and needs in education and develop education policy recommendations based on research evidence.
International catalyst: Initiate and promote dialogue and exchange of information among educational leaders and stakeholders. The EFA Global Action Plan is an example of the Organization’s efforts to ensure greater harmonization and alignment in the approaches of multilateral organizations toward education.
Clearinghouse: Promote development and implementation of successful educational practices, and document and disseminate successful practices.
Education is key to social and economic development. We work for a sustainable world with just societies that value knowledge, promote a culture of peace, celebrate diversity and defend human rights, achieved by providing Education for All (EFA).
