Inaugural AFFLIP Oration – 2015: A Year of Decision on the Global Education Agenda
The Hon Julia Gillard, former Prime Minister of Australia will be delivering the Inaugural Australian Foundation for Fostering Learning in the Philippines (AFFLIP) Oration in August.
Ms Gillard will discuss her work as Chair of the Global Partnership for Education, and the efforts underway around the world to forge consensus on the Sustainable Development Goals for education, to be adopted at the UN in New York in December. She will discuss the issues, the opportunities and the challenges involved – and what they mean for education of children in the world’s poorest and most conflict-plagued countries.
AFFLIP is a voluntary, non-government, not for profit Foundation based in South Australia, which seeks to make a contribution to the educational development of young people living in some of the poorest areas of the Philippines. At present its work is located in Mindanao in the southern Philippines.
AFFLIP’s focus is on learning, and its various programs involve fundraising to provide physical facilities and learning resources for schools, provide scholarships for students from impoverished backgrounds, initiate activities which promote the health and nutrition of students, partnering Filipino public schools with public schools in South Australia, and supporting the professional development of teachers.
