SECTION 1



EDUCATION
NGOs




The educational field has been known as playing a major role in shaping
contemporary society, mainly because it allows to conceptualize people's
surroundings as well as their interactions with those surroundings.

However, as education intersects with politics, geography, and economics,
educational outcomes become significantly different. Educational ideology
is a product of culture and vice versa. In addition to these factors, the
understanding of political economy's role in education is vital in
understanding the variance of educational outcomes.

The language of education used by nation-states as well as international
intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations NGO (both
transnational and national), and agents of civil society (many of which
belong to the aforementioned categories) contributes heavily to the
self-identification of individuals.

By understanding the language of each, we can reach a greater understanding
of the multiple, conflicting, and overlapping educational ideologies employed
across the globe. The issue of education on an international scale is also
embedded in a complex framework of international relations which alters the
effectiveness of those who employ the ideologies in a practical manner.

Education NGOs differ in practice and ideology based on the previously
mentioned factors. However, in the age of globalization, travel and
communication have contributed to new ideas about individual identities
in relation to the a global - rather than national - community.

EDUCATION
WITHOUT
BORDERS
(NGO)




Education Without Borders or “Educación Sin Fronteras” (ESF), founded
in 1988, is an NGO focused on development, its goal being to use
education to craft a more just caring world. It hopes to reach these
goals using two distinct methods: international action and cooperation
focused on development in the Southern countries of the world, as well
as, promoting change and awareness in every community at home.

ESF's objective is to be an organization committed to defending and
promoting quality education as a fundamental human right applicable
to all. ESF believes education to be the driving force in the
transformation and development of individuals and their communities.

ESF also believes education to be instrumental in the development of
a fair, non discriminatory society which offers opportunities to all
people.

SECTION 4



EDUCATIONAL
NGOs




NGOs are civil society actors. They have a specific agenda for the
improvement of society, and act on the desire to advance and improve
the human condition. In 1990, the decade of “Education for All” (EFA)
was launched in Jomtien, Thailand. There were six goals set in Jomtien
and in 2000 in Dakar, Senegal, these goals were reaffirmed for another
15 years until 2015 (Torres).



They are:


1. Expanding and improving comprehensive early childhood care and education,
especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

2. Ensuring that by 2015 all children, particularly girls, children in difficult
circumstances and those belonging to ethnic minorities, have access to, and
complete, free and compulsory primary education of good quality.

3. Ensuring that the learning needs of all young people and adults are met through
equitable access to appropriate learning and life-skills programs.

4. Achieving a 50 percent improvement in levels of adult literacy by 2015, especially
for women, and equitable access to basic and continuing education for all adults.

5. Eliminating gender disparities in primary and secondary education by 2005, and
achieving gender equality in education by 2015, with a focus on ensuring girls’
full and equal access to and achievement in basic education of good quality.

6. Improving all aspects of the quality of education and ensuring excellence of all
so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially
in literacy, numeracy and essential life skills (UNESCO 2000).


Since the Dakar conference, the coordination group has been set up to ensure, in
collaboration with UNESCO, that there are follow-up of activities as well as programs
and mechanisms for NGOs under the area of “Education For All”. The Coordination Group
is composed of eight representatives of civil society organizations, comprised of five
regional organizations, two international organizations, and one representative of the
UNESCO/NGO Liaison Committee (CCNGO 2001).
