With the Workshop on HIV/AIDS and Education and with this publication which issues out of it, UNESCO, UNAIDS and the Federal Ministry of Education signal their commitment to assist Nigerian educators to move from the periphery to the centre of the international effort to ensure that the impact of HIV/AIDS on the delivery of education services is known, understood and considered within the framework of education planning and reform. The report notes with some satisfaction, that work has already started in one or two states regarding measuring impact. Importantly, this work is being undertaken, not in isolation but in concert with interventions and processes meant to improve general basic education provision and to ensure progress towards the attainment of the Education for All (EFA) goals.
