Description:
This is a community for young professionals interested in Education, and particularly the issues of Education for All (as captured in the Millennium Development Goal 2) and Education for Sustainable Development (we are in the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development until 2014).
This project will aim at connecting interested young professionals to each other, facilitate discussion and information exchange, and enable easy dissemination of information about education matters.
The purpose of the IYPF's Education community is to have young education and other professionals sharing with each other knowledge, research and information about education for all and for sustainable development and to use this knowledge to create and implement new solutions to local, regional and international problems.
There are also plans on preparing case studies on various issues of concern for education.
We look forward to your involvement.
