Very happy to hold this Seminar under the auspices of ICAE, which is an
indication of the prominent role in the exchange of experiences in the field
of continuing education for all.
From Egypt the headquarters of the Arab Network for Literacy and Adult
Education , which includes in its membership 15 Arab countries and 56
non-governmental organizations and leading figures .


We send our regards to all colleagues and partners in the field and we adopt
a vision of the Arab countries that are undergoing revolutionary
transformations and democratic.



The only way to achieve our goals is the continuous learning and learning
for all using the comprehensive developmental approach including the (
economic - cultural - social ) aspects in addition to the full participation
of the target group and the priority for the young and female actors as
entrepreneurs , not as just  recipient of the service .


The Illiteracy remains a significant impediment to achieving a comprehensive
Arab development despite the fact that governments and civil society
initiated in nearly half a century to take practical steps to eliminate this
phenomenon, which is spreading among young and old alike, male and female .


According to the Arab Organization for Education, Culture ( ALECSO ) in
expressing these concerns, based on what was in the "Report of the
challenges of development in the Arab countries " for the year 2011 at the
rate of literacy in the Arab countries reached 9.72 % , which means that the
illiteracy rate of up to 1.27 % , of which nearly 60 % among females.


The Global Monitoring Education for All report in 2012, issued by the UNESCO
indicates that the population of Arab States reached 353 million and 800
thousand people, of whom 256 million and 946 are acquainted with reading and
writing , which means that the number of illiterates in the Arab countries
up to 96 million and 836 thousand illiterate .


The literacy observers in the Arab world emphasize that the elimination of
this phenomenon in all the Arab countries will not come before 2050 , if
something goes efforts in this regard to what it is now . However, a number
of Arab countries, which recruited a huge potential for this purpose has
impressive results , and can completely eliminate the spread of illiteracy
by the year 2015 and in the introduction of these countries UAE, Qatar,
Bahrain and Kuwait.



In Egypt, was the launch of the National Campaign for Literacy , " together
we can" under the auspices of the UNESCO Regional Office in the Middle East,
in collaboration with the Ministry of Education as well as the launch of the
Adult Education Initiative in the early new year 2014 under the slogan "
2014 general literacy " Egypt hopes these efforts to achieve their target in
the framework of the objectives of Education for All .


Therefore, the adult education still has not received as worthy of attention
by the Arab states , where stands illiteracy a real obstacle to the
achievement of the objectives of the plan of education in the Arab world ,
adopted by the Arab summit held in Damascus in 2008, which was considered
ALECSO " they " represented a major step on the road to find a political
decision , which was always a demand for the various bodies concerned with
literacy in the Arab world . "


In this context it has issued the Arab Network for Literacy and Adult
Education set of recommendations, which may be taken in promoting literacy
and face high rates of illiteracy in the Arab world , as follows :


1 - Work to achieve quality formal education to reduce dropout rates and
directly linked to illiteracy rates .


2 - improve the learning conditions for illiterate women , especially in
remote areas and areas of armed conflict , which has spread in recent times
because of the revolutions of the Arab Spring .


3 - oriented vision , mission and new and innovative mechanisms and flexible
working to achieve learning for life by using the human rights approach and
developmental literacy to enable the student to achieve socially,
economically and culturally, and the availability of different options
enabling him .


4 - Work on the experiences of successful mainstream through international
and regional organizations , taking into account the cultural specificity of
each country separately .


5 - to work through a plan of action to ensure uniform progress towards the
desired goals and coordination between all parties in the case, the actors
at all levels, national , regional and international .


6 - experimenting with some successful models offered globally such as "
learning cities " and follow-up and evaluation in preparation for
circulation .
