Towards quality education for all Empowering Africa and African educators towards quality education for all is no more a wish but a present living reality, which needs to be known and shared from within and outside Africa as a whole. This report is a march towards this end. The Joint International UNESCO-UNICEF Monitoring Learning Achievement (MLA) Project not only has a record of its own worldwide, but also a particular one on the African continent. With Africa for Africa has turned the far-reaching dream of African expertise into action through their participation in the MLA Project. With Africa and For Africa, a movement towards quality education for all could not start without the strong support of African governments; African policy-makers, educators and front-line implementers; African learners - their parents, teachers and school managers; bilateral and multilateral partners of Education for All (EFA), and the hardworking national, regional, and international MLA Project teams.
