There is general agreement on the need for an overarching goal that is part of the broader global framework that will replace the Millennium Development Goals, and that is clearly linked with a fuller post-2015 education framework. The majority of proposals suggest 2030 as a new deadline. While the education MDG is about reaching universal primary education, the new proposals stretch that ambition to lower secondary. There is broad consensus that a good education is not only of \u201cgood quality\u201d but is also equitable \u2013 that is, available to all, regardless of their wealth, gender, ethnicity and other characteristics. Having co-convened the online post-2015 consultation related to equity, it\u2019s encouraging to see the popularity of this theme.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2743\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2743\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unesco.org\/new\/en\/education\/themes\/leading-the-international-agenda\/efareport\/post-2015\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2743\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/world-education-blog.org\/2013\/01\/15\/education-after-2015-the-commonwealth-perspective\/education-after-2015-logo9\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/world-education-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/education-after-2015-logo9-e1363708596250.jpg?fit=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"400,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Education-after-2015-logo9\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The GMR&amp;#8217;s online hub for resources and other updates on education post-2015 gathers links to proposals from around the world.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/world-education-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/education-after-2015-logo9-e1363708596250.jpg?fit=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-2743\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gemreportunesco.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/education-after-2015-logo9.jpg?resize=150%2C150\" alt=\"Our new online hub for resources and other updates on education post-2015 gathers links to proposals from around the world.\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2743\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our new online hub for resources and other updates on education post-2015 gathers links to proposals from around the world.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Of the four proposals that spell out an overarching education goal, however, none have made equity explicit.\u00a0 Most prefer to make it implicit: \u201c<i>all <\/i>children (and youth)<i>\u2026<\/i>\u201d is the phrase used by the <a href=\"http:\/\/gemreportunesco.wpcomstaging.com\/2013\/01\/28\/a-goal-for-2030-primary-and-lower-secondary-school\/\">Basic Education Coalition<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.campaignforeducationusa.org\/news-and-resources\/press-room\/gce-us-releases-post-2015-policy-paper-total-reach-total-learning-educ\">Global Campaign for Education (US Chapter)<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.savethechildren.org.uk\/resources\/online-library\/ending-poverty-our-generation\">Save the Children<\/a>. \u201cQuality education<i> for all\u201d<\/i> is proposed by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cigionline.org\/sites\/default\/files\/MDG_Post_2015v3.pdf\">Centre for International Governance Innovation<\/a> (CIGI).<\/p>\n<p>Looking beyond the overarching goal to targets and indicators, GCE-US and the Basic Education Coalition call for data to be disaggregated (broken down to show the influence of factors such as poverty, gender and ethnicity).

Only three of the proposals provide clear ways of measuring equity, by focusing on the lowest 20%, or income quintile, and gender. Save the Children suggests several indicators to address inequality, including \u201censuring all the poorest quintile can read with measurable understanding to \u2018read to learn\u2019 by end of year 3\u201d and \u201cnarrowing the gap in literacy and numeracy learning outcomes achieved by aged 12 between the richest and poorest quintiles, and by gender\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>DFID presents a proposal for measuring the rate of progress of the bottom learning quintile to ensure it is at least as fast as the average rate of progress at a country level. The Commonwealth Secretariat proposes as an indicator the percentage of children from the bottom 20% of household income achieving a certain level in national learning assessments compared with those from the top 20% (but leaving vague whether a differential can persist). <a href=\"http:\/\/www.odi.org.uk\/sites\/odi.org.uk\/files\/odi-assets\/publications-opinion-files\/7776.pdf\">Results for Development<\/a>, while not drafting any specific language of goals, also proposes that performance be measured using the top and bottom quintile.<\/p>\n<p>What guiding messages should we give to the UN Secretary-General\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.post2015hlp.org\/\">High Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda<\/a> as they draft a framework for the coming decades?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear we need to make equity a central focus in both access to education and learning achievement.
