Belgian Support to Basic Education: Mapping the Way Forward

摘要

This report, commissioned by Plan Belgium,is an input to the international conference Basic Education for Change, organised by Plan Belgium in collaboration with HIVA-KU Leuven, UNICEF Belgium and VVOB in Brussels on 14 May 2013. The report examines the broad trends in the support of Belgium to the education sector in developing countries over the last 25 years, and then looks at how Belgium has engaged with basic education as an important sub-sector. This analysis is used to ‘map the way forward’, resulting in recommendations for the future principles and modalities, and the proposition of three possible scenarios for the future Belgian support to basic education. It is a constructive contribution to the Belgian post-2015 dialogue, with the aim of stimulating the debate and adding focus to the collective effort of Belgian development actors in education.
