Atteindre l'éducation pour tous en 2015 est-il un objectif réalisable ?

subject

description

This paper is looking at the feasibility of achieving the objective of education for all, one of the millennium objectives set up by the international community for the year 2015. Among numerous obstacles on the road map, the author is focusing on the budgetary constraint, which has aggravated significantly during the past decade. Actually the gap between least advanced countries and the rest of the world is widening, and not narrowing. Two remedies are proposed by the donor community for assisting the least developed countries to fill the gap : first a more efficient utilisation of resources presently allocated to education, and it seems that the efficiency reforms which are proposed are overambitious given the managig capacity of the concerned countries, second, a significant increase of aid flows dedicated to basic education ; concerning on this issue, it seems that initial commitments are far from being met, due to changing international priorities among some donors. As a consequence, it is unlikely that education for all can be achieved by 2015.
