Positioning Quality Education within the Post-2015 Development Framework
A global policy synthesis on educational substance, equity, measurement and public responsibility
Quality education should occupy a constitutive, rather than supplementary, position in the development framework being considered for the period beyond 2015. Access, equity, learning, teaching conditions and recognised progression describe connected aspects of one public obligation. A framework that treats access as the goal and quality as an optional qualification risks counting participation without examining its educational substance. A framework that treats measured learning as the whole goal risks excluding children who never enter, do not attend regularly or are absent from assessment. The policy task is to express a concise global commitment without separating conditions that jointly determine whether the right to education is secured.
