This Framework is designed to enable the education sector at a national level to understand the need for a robust response to HIV and AIDS in order to achieve Education for All (EFA) and the education-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It also highlights the education sector’s role in providing a unique and critical contribution to national responses to HIV and AIDS in the context of universal access to HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support. Rather than providing a blueprint or a programme for education sector action on HIV and AIDS, the Framework provides an approach that the education sector can use to mainstream HIV and AIDS in ways that are adapted to each national context.
