Initiatives: How International Organizations Can Help to Improve Education

According to UNESCO, international organizations can exercise a strong influence on improving the development of education in the world. They can participate in creating goals and supporting countries to reach an improvement in the quality of education. These organizations include multilateral organizations as UNESCO, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, the European Union (EU), Southeast Asian Ministers, Education Organization, Group of Seven, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Organization of Ibero-American States, the Commonwealth and different banks.

The organizations can promote research and the creation of standards highlighting the mission of improving education. They have two main goals. The first one is to help the countries to establish standards and goals to increase their education and the second one is to back up the countries’ programs with commitments and agreements. Organizations need to organize themselves and set goals to fulfill their role. They need to analyze carefully their level of commitment and limits.
