I skimmed through Reaching the marginalized. It is an excellent report on EFA. I am very pleased to note the progress made under each of the six goals.
However, it seems it will be difficult to meet one of these goals, which is to get all children into primary school by 2015--you mentioned this in your presentation. One of the main difficulties is the lack of teachers all over the world and the inequality in education between rural and urban areas. I think this is a huge challenge.
How do you anticipate solving this problem of rural versus urban areas as well as the shortage of teachers? Moreover, since Canada will be hosting the G8 and G20 summits, how should we approach this problem? Would more money really help? The lack of teachers is not only a matter of money. Teachers have to be trained. What is your view of the whole picture?
