EDUCATION TRANSFORM LIVES
 EDUCATION FOR ALL -EFA
Education lights every stage of the journey to a
better life, especially for the poor and the most
vulnerable. Education’s unique power to act as a
catalyst for wider development goals can only be
fully realized, however, if it is equitable. That means
making special efforts to ensure that all children
and young people – regardless of their family
income, where they live, their gender, their
ethnicity, whether they are disabled – can benefit
equally from its transformative power.
Education empowers girls and young women, in
particular, by increasing their chances of getting
jobs, staying healthy and participating fully in society
– and it boosts their children’s chances of leading
healthy lives.
To unlock the wider benefits of education, all
children need the chance to complete not only
primary school but also lower secondary school.
And access to schooling is not enough on its own:
education needs to be of good quality so that
children actually learn. Given education’s
transformative power, it needs to be a central part
of any post-2015 global development framework.
