Report on the Post-2015 Education Agenda 2013, para. 113
- Paragraph text
- In today's globalized economy, completion of primary education is just not enough. To ensure that education is relevant and useful, education goals in the post-2015 development agenda should have the objective of achieving by 2030 universal secondary-level education for all, with vocational and technical education and training as an integral part in order to respond to the rising aspirations of youth and to meet the critical challenges of an increasingly globalized economy.

Paragraph
Public-private partnerships in education 2015, para. 130
- Paragraph text
- States, in particular developing countries, must develop innovative modalities for public-private partnerships, harnessed for skills development, to respond to the rising aspirations of young people, with institutionalized collaboration between institutions offering technical and vocational education and training and enterprises. They should also valorize the social esteem of technical and vocational education and training and lay down a legal framework that makes it imperative for industry and institutions offering technical and vocational education and training to collaborate to their mutual advantage.

Paragraph
Report on the Post-2015 Education Agenda 2013, para. 115
- Paragraph text
- Quality has been neglected in the pursuit of education-related Millennium Development Goals and the Education for All agenda; the right to basic education of good quality for all remains unfulfilled. The post-2015 development agenda should engage States more resolutely in promoting and ensuring that the right to a quality education for all is given without discrimination or exclusion. Education of high quality is imperative for responding to the rising aspiration of youth and for creating a better future for them. While expanding access to education for all, Governments must take full care to ensure that minimum standards in education are maintained.

Paragraph
Report on the Post-2015 Education Agenda 2013, para. 109
- Paragraph text
- Guided by a rights-based approach, education goals should be formulated as entitlements, with the corresponding responsibility of Governments to their citizens to deliver on the goals and targets. Thus, the education agenda should be devised along the lines of rights-holders and duty-bearers: rights-holders include children, youth and adults who are entitled to receive or equitably access available education programmes; duty-bearers include Governments, or partners that assist Governments in their obligation to provide the policies, programmes and institutions that implement the right to education. As primary duty-bearers for the realization of the right to education, Governments are first and foremost responsible for providing a national education system that lives up to their commitments.
