The Forum notes that the Fifth World Indigenous Education Conference will be held in New Zealand in November and December 2005, and urges UNESCO to seek to be actively involved in this conference, in particular in dissemination of information on UNESCO projects, programs and activities relating to indigenous education and relevant to UNESCO responsibilities in pursuing Millennium Development Goal 2
Responses
UNESCO was actively involved in the Fifth World Indigenous Education Conference. It provided financial support and technical assistance to the organization of a panel on Millennium Goal 2 with respect to indigenous education, including the goal of Education for All to ensure that by 2015 all children, particularly girls, have access to free and compulsory education of good quality. UNESCO also disseminated publications relevant to the theme of the conference (e.g. Education in a Multilingual World, 2003; The Challenge of Indigenous Education: Practice and Perspectives, 2004)
