World Conference on Higher
Education: Higher Education in the
Twenty-first Century: Vision and
Action, organized by UNESCO. Paris, France, 5-9 October 1998.
The aim of this conference was to provide solutions to challenges facing
higher during the Twenty-First Century and to set in motion a process of in-depth reform in higher education worldwide.
In preparation for the Conference, UNESCO
issued, in 1995, its Policy Paper for Change and Development in
Higher Education. Five regional consultations (Havana, November 1996;
Dakar, April 1997; Tokyo, July 1997; Palermo, September 1997; and Beirut,
March 1998) were subsequently held. The Declarations and Plans of Action
adopted by them, each preserving its own specificity, are reflected Declaration
of the
World Conference as is the whole process of
reflection undertaken by the preparation of the Conference - and are
annexed to it.
