If pictures speak more than a thousand words, millions of words were demanding education in the renowned Mesqel Square in Addis-Ababa – as 370 photographs displayed powerful images of education in Ethiopia for three months beginning on April 23, 2007. The event was inaugurated by an official from the Ministry of Education and the UNESCO Director in Ethiopia. Ethiopia’s Action Week also hosted a children’s rally, photographic exhibitions, workshops, discussions and candle lighting ceremonies in different regions, and attracted national radio and TV coverage on a daily basis. Finally a panel discussion on Education was held in Addis Ababa, which was opened by the State Minister of Education H.E. Ato Fuad Ebrahim. Addressing other ministries, MPs, multilateral and bi-lateral organisations, civil society, the Basic Education Association in Ethiopia (BEA-E) and the UNESCO director expressed commitment towards the realization of EFA goals. Delaying Nigeria’s Action Week because of the general election did not have any weakening effect on the campaign. A colourful well attended Fun Walk organised by Nigeria’s Civil Society Action Coalition on Education for All (CSACEFA) started at the Federal Ministry of Education and ended at the National Centre for Women Development. Amongst those walking were the Minister of Education Sayyadi Abba Ruma and Minister of State in the Ministry Adewunmi Abitoye and heads of different agencies with responsibility for education. The Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Education and the Minister also presented at a round table discussion on education as a human right, and were humbled by presentations from children and adult learners on their right to an education.
