HU holds the “Japan Education Forum IX”, together with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the University of Tsukuba.

The “Japan Education Forum IX” features the theme of “Aid Effectiveness and Responsibility of International Cooperation in Education”. With prominent practitioners in educational aid invited from international and bilateral development institutions, as well as noted scholars specializing in educational development, we will discuss “Aid Effectiveness” and international cooperation in education, anticipating post-EFA　（“Education for All”）. How could Japan’s abundant field-based experiences contribute to the development of education in accordance with policy-oriented trends? We warmly welcome all participants to actively join this discussion.

* The Japan Education Forum (JEF) is an annual international forum established in March 2004 through governmental and academic collaboration under the context of Japan’s international contribution in the field of education. Its purpose is to provide an opportunity for open and frank exchanges of opinions and ideas by officials in the public sector, practitioners of international development and NGOs, and scholars on ways of promoting self-effort in developing countries toward sustainable educational development, and of effective international cooperation in education. The forum also offers an opportunity to present Japan’s own experiences in educational development and its international cooperation in practice.
