With the end of the Education for All Initiative comes the end of the HEEFA Project. From this date (January 2016), this website is no longer maintained and remains visible only as an archive of the HEEFA project.
The IAU thanks all its partners and contributors for the work done for the HEEFA Project and welcomes the new Education 2030 agenda in which universities are included.
The International Association of Universities (IAU) is organising an International Meeting “From HEEFA towards SDG4: Building on achievements” in cooperation with the Jaume Bofill Foundation that will take place on 8 and 9 October 2015 in Barcelona, Spain.
This important meeting both builds on the success of the IAU HEEFA project, acting as its concluding event and it bridges the outcomes of HEEFA to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Education) and the UNESCO Framework for Action that is linked to it. It will provide an opportunity for the higher education community to discuss the place and role of higher education in the international agenda for education.

The EFA Steering Committee was established in April 2012 whose task is to discuss the development of the post-2015 education agenda. It consists of 19 members representing UNESCO Member States, the E-9 Initiative, EFA convening agencies (UNESCO, UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF and the World Bank), the OECD, the civil society and the private sector. The EFA SC advocates a more broader and comprehensive education agenda than what will be approved by the UNGA in 2015 and one that should be the reference point for the education community worldwide. In preparation for the 2015 World Education Forum and the UNGA in September 2015, the EFA SC met on 9-10 October. It discussed necessary changes to the current Sustainable Development Goals and EFA SC texts, which included: The notion of “affordable” education in reference to higher education in the SDG text is unclear and must be removed. On the other hand, greater visbility needed to given to childhood care and education and teachers who should be considered as a target not as a means. How the post 2015 education agenda flows with the SDGs has yet to be defined.

The “viability” of university teacher training departments in the UK is under threat after the number of places allocated to higher education providers are being cut. Some universities, like Bath University and The Open University, have already shut down their post-graduate teacher education programs. Reduced places are a result of the UK government expanding its School Direct policy – which allows schools to select and recruit their own trainees.Read the complete Times Higher Education article here.
