What's happening in 2008: 17,000 children from 150 schools will join the world biggest lesson. Some Japanese high level politicians and 20 representative of the Fast Track Initiative technical meeting in Tokyo will be taught the lesson by students at one of the lower secondary schools in Tokyo. The students will also share lunch with the officials and impress upon them the need to give more funding towards education. The Japanese NGO Network for Education (JNNE) is organizing the World's Biggest Lesson in which 10,000 students will participate in more than 100 countries throughout Japan. In Tokyo there will be a special World's Biggest Lesson to the Secretariat of Education Fast Track Inititive and Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The lesson will take place at a lower secondary school in Tokyo, where the officials will have a school lunch and meet the school students, before going into class. The officials will then split into five groups, and talk briefly about their experience of EFA, discuss quality education and exclusion, before returning back to the FTI conference. Of those in class will be Mr Nick Burnett, Director of the Education for All Monitoring Report, and Kailash Satyarthi, President of GCE. Photos:
What happened in 2007? The activities in Japan centred on students meeting the Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso. They handed over human-shaped paper cut-out chains, in solidarity with all the campaigners around the world and appealed to him to improve and expand Japanese aid for basic education. They reminded him of the promises made by governments back in 2000 in Dakar to meet the Education for All goals. 2008 Report Card PDF
