Did you know . . . . .?
This global framework will guide Adult Learning and Education for the next decade, emphasizing sustainability and a new social contract to provide quality adult education for all. Educators from 142 countries have adopted the MFA.
MFA is an outcome of CONFINTEA VII, the Seventh International Conference on Adult Education, held June 2022 in Marrakech, Morocco. CONFINTEA VII’s aim was to help achieve the 17 UN goals for sustainable development. It coalesced around perspectives, practices, and policies to enable adults to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
The U.S. contributed to conference preparations and dialogue and non-voting participation at CONFINTEA VII led by a government delegate from the Office of Career, Technical, and Career Education (OCTAE).
