5th global report on adult learning and education: citizenship education: empowering adults for change - UNESCO Digital Library

This report serves a dual purpose. The first is to carry out the mandate conferred on UNESCO by the BFA, which documents CONFINTEA VI participants’ commitment to ‘regularly collecting and analysing data and information on … adult education programmes, disaggregated by gender and other factors, to evaluate change over time and to share good practice’ (UIL, 2010, p. 9). Part 1 of this report thus tracks and analyses progress in ALE against the five key indicators identified in the BFA: policy, governance, financing, participation and quality. The second purpose of this report, addressed in Part 2, is to offer a detailed thematic discussion and analysis of global and active citizenship, and the role of ALE in pursuing them.
