VSO's vision is that all children have access to good quality primary education. VSO's work in this goal area is in line with delivering on the Millennium Development Goals (http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/) , especially on goal two on universal primary education and goal three on gender equality in education by 2015.
VSO is an active member of the Global Campaign for Education, an international coalition of charities, non-governmental organisations, civil society organisations and education unions. The coalition mobilises the public to put pressure on governments to deliver on the promises they made in 2000 to provide free education for all children.
VSO has education programmes in 21countries in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the Caribbean. The programmes are developed through a consultative process that analyses the education context and identifies the people who are disadvantaged within and outside of the education system in each country. This leads to a tailormade response in marginalised geographic areas.
