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.

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.
