Commonwealth Education Ministers Action Group meeting

Event date: 21 January 2016, 0:00 - 22 January 2016, 0:00

The first Commonwealth Education Ministers Action Group (EMAG) meeting will take place between 21-22 January 2016.

On  21 and 22 January 2016 various Education Ministers from across the Commonwealth will gather in London for the first Education Ministers Action Group (EMAG) meeting.

The EMAG was formed as an output from the 19th Conference of Commonwealth Education Ministers (CCEM) in The Bahamas, June 2015. The purpose of the EMAG is to drive delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for education in Commonwealth countries, and to provide strategic direction, advice and oversight in organising and following up on actions from ministerial meetings.

Following the successful precedent of the

Nassau Declaration.

EMAG will act as a body, with the collective strength of the Commonwealth for ministers, to advocate for the SDGs within their countries and regions.
