Abstract	Education International's Barometer of Human and Trade Union Rights in the Education Sector focuses on five fundamental human rights: the right to education for girls and boys, gender equality in education and in society, academic freedom, the right of the child to protection from child labour, abuse and exploitation, and the rights of workers to form and join trade unions and to organise and collective bargaining. The aim of this Barometer is to measure the extent to which these rights are respected, in each country where EI has members. Since the publication of the previous Barometer in 2001, seven new countries and territories have become affiliated with EI: Afghanistan, Cambodia, East Timor, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Serbia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. This brings the total number of countries and territories covered in this edition to 162. In this edition the highlight on gender equality is included, as it constitutes one of the eight millenium development goals adopted by the UN and one of the chief objectives of the Education for All initiative. Adopted by the World Education Forum in Dakar in 2002, the Education for All plan of action predicted the achievement of gender parity in primary and secondary education by 2005. However, the Barometer will help the reader realise that this will certainly not be achieved, at least within the timeframe given. Furthermore, the reader will see that despite the adoption of international instruments, child labour is still a grim reality in many countries. Likewise, numerous governments pay lip service to the realisation of academic freedom, while education personnel are deprived of their fundamental rights to participate fully in social dialogues.
