In the context of accelerating political, economic, social, technological and environmental developments, it is vital to significantly rethink and renew education so that all learners can acquire the knowledge and competencies they will need.

However, to do this successfully, we will require innovative approaches and collaborative efforts across sectors and national boundaries, which will both ensure access and improve quality and relevance. 

In this opening session, the panel considered the imperatives for change and set the context for the Summit discussions on the challenges facing education and ways to overcome shared constraints.

Fatoumata SIGNATE Chef de Division - MINISTRY OF NATIONAL EDUCATION Senegal
Ne faudrait-il pas penser à créer une osmose entre l'ecole et la vie de l'apprenant? afin qu'il se sente plus concerner? repenser à une réforme curriculaire tenant compte de l'environnement et la réalité de l'élève tout en lui permettant de mieux s'ouvrir à l'extérieur? Les limites ne se trouveraient pas dans cette tendance à ne pas toujours établir le pont necessaire entre les connaissances et le vécu?. Un changement de la prise en compte de cette dimension s'impose .Bien manager ce changement , voilà le véritable défi.

Amjad ALI Professor - INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY, ISLAMABAD Pakistan
"Bridging the gap" is a very common phrase that we read and listen frequently; bridging the ICT gap, gender gap, rich and poor gap, technological gap, economic gap, cultural gap etc. Now we see only bridges all around of us. Will it be more appropriate to fill rather than bridge the gap. That will be a suitable and sustainable. (from all speakers) Sixty one million children are out of school. UNESCO had been mandated to work for education 67 years ago. But the primary objective of its existence could not be achieved. Why is UNESCO failing to achieve EFA goals? Whether the goals were unrealistic? Or UNESCO approach was faulty? What is UNESCO planning to achieve EFA goals beyond 2015? (from Mrs. Irina Bakova)

It would be useful if the panel focuses on change management and how to initiate change. The education community, to a large extent, understands the imperatives for change. Where we fail is to successfully implement that change.
