MUST DO BETTER: A 'School Report' of 14 develioping countries in Asia Pacific to investigate their commitment to Basic Education
NEW: School Report on Asia and Pacific gives red marks to 75% of countries
The Asia Pacific School Report Card is out. This report investigates
the performance of 14 developing country leaders in their commitment
to basic education and concludes that governments 'Must Do Better'.
The report uses the format of a 'School Report Card' to rank the
leaders of these developing countries as 'class leaders' or 'poor
performers'. Of the developing countries covered, only two received an
'A' grade, one a 'B' and another two scraped through with 'C's. Class
giants Hu Jintao of China (5th rank; 63/100; 'C' grade) and Manmohan
Singh of India (10th rank; 43/100; 'E' grade) did not fare
impressively.
The Asian South Pacific Bureau of Adult Education — a network of more
than 200 organisations and individuals promoting adult education in
the Asia Pacific region— and the Global Campaign for Education — a
coalition of international and regional development NGOs, national
coalitions and teachers unions in over 150 countries — published this
report. This will be released in regionally coordinated campaign
activities through June 29 to July 1 in countries all over the Asia
South Pacific as part of the July 1 White Arm band day campaign of the
Global Call to Action Against Poverty (G CAP).
