Abstract

This paper was originally commissioned by the Education for All (EFA) Global Monitoring Report as background information to assist in drafting the 2015 report. This report aims to provide an additional platform for research that supports UNESCO’s educational goals. This paper concludes with several recommendations for policymakers. These include linking large-scale literacy campaigns to processes of social change and development, supporting participation in adult literacy programmes through literate environments and opportunities for further learning, more systematic use of ICT to expand coverage of literacy programmes, and improved availability, reliability and comparability of literacy data to facilitate improved planning and a more targeted approach.
