Quality education and HIV and AIDS

This paper presents a framework for quality education to show how education systems can and must change in their analysis and conduct in relation to HIV and AIDS. It summarises the 10 dimensions of the framework, considers how HIV and AIDS impact each of these dimensions and summarises some practical applications of how education can and should respond to the pandemic from a quality perspective. The paper was developed for the UNAIDS Inter-Agency Task Team (IATT) on Education. The IATT on Education is convened by UNESCO and includes as members the UNAIDS Co-sponsoring agencies, bi-lateral agencies and private donors, and civil society. The IATT on Education aims to accelerate and improve the education sector response to HIV and AIDS.
