South Asia Sub-Region Synthesis Report
(2009)
Abstract
This report came about after a long process of capacity building workshops at the regional, subregional,
national and sub-national levels; bilateral and sub-national consultations; technical visits to
the countries; and validation by the countries and EFA partners. Gathering data and analyzing the
educational disparities within the country was a tedious task that needed much time, concentration
and patience. The dedication and commitment showed by the South Asian countries in carrying out
the national assessment and sharing the results with the UIS-AIMS Unit, UNESCO Bangkok was crucial
to the completion of the sub-regional report. We thus thank, first and foremost, Bangladesh, Bhutan,
India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka for sharing with UNESCO various drafts of their national
EFA Mid-Decade Assessment reports, which is a core component of this sub-regional report. Country
representatives also reviewed and validated this sub-regional report.
