A/68/294 Implementation strategy with focus on action at the national level 116. Each education goal and target must be accompanied by an implementation strategy and monitoring mechanisms, which should cover both access and quality at each level of education, aimed at enhancing learning achievements. The strategy should be guided by equitable approaches, along with social protection measures and support in the form of grants and bursaries to the children who are victims of exclusion, in particular those who are victims of extreme poverty. This is crucial for meeting challenges in overcoming unprecedented disparities in access and quality as the demand for education grows and what is on offer becomes more diverse. Role and responsibility of all partners and key stakeholders 117. Education is a core responsibility of the Government; it is also a social responsibility, involving the participation and engagement of civil society organizations and various stakeholders. Education systems of tomorrow need to be designed so that they clearly delineate the roles and responsibilities of all partners and of various stakeholders, including communities, local bodies, teachers and parents. A comprehensive legal framework, which is applicable to all providers of education, public and private, and is fully respectful of the right to education as a fundamental human right, must inform the implementation strategy. Regulatory framework for controlling private providers of education 118. Exploding demands for education have led to an exponential growth of private providers of education.

While preserving public interest in education, a system of effective sanctions in the case of abusive practices by private providers of education must exist.

The central role of education in accelerating progress towards all Millennium Development Goals is recognized in the context of the High-level Plenary Meeting of the General Assembly on the Millennium Development Goals, held in 2010. It deserves continued and enhanced attention, since all development goals are underpinned by educational dimensions. The right to education, with its pivotal role in development, should be embedded in all such goals. The post-2015 development agenda must build upon the Global Initiative on Education of the Secretary-General, Education First, which sets out a vision to make education a top priority of the global political agenda. High priority should be given to education in national development and the right to education as an integral part of development planning and the implementation of policies and programmes. The right to education deserves strategic consideration in public policies and in global partnerships. 120. Poverty is the greatest obstacle to the enjoyment of the right to education as well as the right to development, and its elimination is an overriding development concern. A universal goal to eliminate poverty should be intertwined with a universal goal on education, in consideration of the key 13-42277 23/26
