This report is based on a groundbreaking survey of the capacity and readiness of vulnerable or affected countries to manage HIV/AIDS impact on their education systems. A survey of ministries of education in 71 countries reviewed with ministry personnel their self-assessment of how readily they have responded to the HIV/AIDS crisis in terms of structures, resources, partnerships and teaching and workplace policies. The resulting report provides the first international benchmark for examining official response to what is an acknowledged threat to education systems in may countries and a challenge to teaching and learning everywhere.
