Meeting of EFA working group, Paris 2-3 Feb 2011
Education, knowledge, informed choices are central to Human Development
HDR1990: Human development is enlarging people's choices, emphasizing the freedom to be healthy, to be educated and to enjoy a decent standard of living. It extends to a broader range of capabilities, including political freedoms, human rights, and `self confidence' (empowerment, participation)
HDR2010: "Human development is the expansion of people's freedoms to live long, healthy and creative lives; to advance other goals they have reason to value and to engage actively in shaping development equitably and sustainably on a shared planet. People are both the beneficiaries and the drivers of HD, as individuals and in groups."
