| Abstract: | We assess UNESCO's biennial World Education Report. We begin with some basic background information and a discussion of the purpose of this report, its function and intended readership. We describe part of the process by which the report developed into its present form and some details about how the report is put together. We then address issues of scope and content: themes selected, the rationales for their selection, and how they are treated. We place particular emphasis on how the policy-messages are ultimately conveyed (in terms of initiatives to be undertaken, priorities to be set, goals and the recommended means for their accomplishment). The discussion is illustrated by comparing the UNESCO report with those put out by three other major international agencies, namely UNICEF, The World Bank and the UNDP. A final section provides a short summary and concluding remarks. |
