Abstract | This books seeks to provide insight into one dimension of UN activity that is steadily rising in visibility and importance - multilateral education, a commitment some distance removed from the operations of the Security Council. The increasing policy weight within the UN system for expanded and improved educational provisions worldwide - and its relationship to a diverse array of other UN commitments - is the primary focus. Although educational activity is apparent right across the UN system, this book examines in some detail the work of the four most important UN agencies in education - UNESCO, UNICEF, UNDP and the World Bank, the last frequently ignored as a UN specialised agency. ... The book sets out to explore how the UN has supported worldwide advancement of education. A prominent theme is the diversity of rationales for UN work in education. Many of its broad approaches to education are complementary, but others appear to be in competition. An important aspect for the book's boundaries is its sharp focus on agency self-image and the internal dynamics of policy formation and discourse, especially at headquarters. Very different and much needed research can address the impact fo the agencies' work in a range of policy contexts, with data largely from non-agency sources. Not much has been systematically attempted, especially at country level, in understanding the effects of their work. Another aspect of the book's boundaries is recognition that the world of multilateral eduation is broader than the UN. Not addressed here is the work of other organisations, such as the WTO, OECD, the EU and other regional organisations and development banks. (DIPF/Orig.). |
