Excerpts from the press release:

Education has moved up on the political agenda over the past 12 months and more children than ever are enrolled in primary school. However, higher spending and more targeted efforts are required to meet the 'large and urgent' EFA challenge by 2015, concluded the sixth meeting of the High-Level Group on Education for All (EFA) held in Cairo, Egypt from 14-16 November 2006.

…

High-Level Group members committed themselves to a stronger focus on early childhood care and education (ECCE) and advised that governments and aid agencies increase funding to ECCE substantially above current levels.
