There the Dakar Framework for Action re-affirmed the commitment and identified six key measurable education goals which aim to meet the learning needs of all children, youth and adults by 2015the target year.30 The EFA is important because it is intricately linked to the realization of the MDGs and are complimentary to one another.31.
