ASPBAE Puts Emphasis on Policy Advocacy on Adult and Lifelong Learning Mandated to focus its work towards a greater emphasis in policy advocacy on adult and lifelong learning, ASPBAE has identified programmes on three core strategies: 1) policy advocacy on transformative adult learning; 2) strengthening strategic partnerships for advocacy; and 3) leadership and institutional capacity-building for transformative adult learning. Together with ICAE, it has initiated the formation of a Commonwealth network on adult education. It firmly believes that without a strong global voice on adult education, adult education issues will remain marginal in the global education debates. ASPBAE has a clear stake therefore in strengthening a global platform and formation that will ensure this. The CONFINTEA V+6 review process in 2003 offers an opportunity to galvanise a global AE front which ASPBAE and ICAE should fully maximize. ASPBAE was selected as a member of the Coordination Group of the UNESCO collective consultation of NGOs on EFA (NGO CC/EFA). Its selection as Asia-Pacific focal point in this body has more directly positioned ASPBAE as a regional and international player in the Education for All (EFA) follow-up processes, particularly on the issues of Adult Literacy and Women's Education. Together with ICAE and NGO CC/EFA, ASPBAE also works with the Global Campaign on Education (GCE) on policy advocacy on transformative adult learning. Note: ASPBAE is a regional member of ICAE. |
