Paragraph text
In the Asia-Pacific region, with almost two thirds (65 per cent) of the world's population of illiterate adults and with 40 per cent of those who remain out of school, daunting challenges remain in terms of quality of the education and skills, especially occupational skills, required for growth in today's society. At a UNESCO regional meeting on Education for All and the post-2015 global education development agenda organized in May 2012 in Bangkok, experts underlined the key importance of a human rights-based approach for equipping young people with the skills necessary in a changing world.
