ADEA got off to a good start in the first quarter of 2015.
The Republic of Korea joined ADEA and we are thrilled by the prospect of enhancing our collaboration. We warmly thank the Korean Ministry of Education for its increased commitment to, and involvement in ADEA.
ADEA also partnered with other organizations in two strategic areas:
The formulation of priorities for education Post 2015: the Sub-Saharan Conference on Education Post 2015, which took place last February, produced a statement as a prelude to the upcoming meetings in Incheon and New York;
Higher Education: The African Summit on Higher Education, which took place in March, identified the challenges facing the sub-sector and explored how to revitalize it. ADEA produced 7 policy briefs to inform the Summit on crucial issues pertaining to higher education in Africa.
Finally we have the pleasure of announcing the launch of the Inter-Country Quality Node on Early Childhood Development (ICQN-ECD). Congratulations to Mauritius who has taken the leadership for advancing ECD in Africa, through its Ministry of Education and Human Resources, Higher Education and Scientific Research!
