This document is an outcome of the Asia-Pacific Regional Education Conference (APREC) on August 6 -8, 2014, attended by Ministers of Education, high-level government officials and representatives of civil society organizations, teachers’ organizations, United Nations (UN) agencies, development partners, and members of academia and the private sector, gathered in Bangkok, Thailand. Having taken stock of the progress made in the region in achieving the six Education for All (EFA) goals, having examined the remaining challenges, and having reflected on future priorities and strategies for the Asia-Pacific region to achieve the emerging post-2015 education agenda, the deliberations were made based on the national EFA reviews, the Muscat Agreement adopted at the Global Education for All Meeting (Muscat, Oman, 12-14 May 2014), and the Outcome Document of the UN General Assembly Open Working Group for Sustainable Development Goals. The statement fully endorses the vision, principles and targets laid out in the Muscat Agreement, noting that the overarching goal to ‘ensure equitable and inclusive quality education and lifelong learning for all by 2030’ reflects the aspiration of the region for education and development.
