Organized on 10-12 July, this segment will focus on following up to the 2011 Ministerial Declaration on "implementing the internationally agreed goals and commitments in regard to education" and to the International Conference on Financing for Development

There will be a dialogue with the executive secretaries of the regional commissions on the theme of "Regional perspectives on youth and development", during which the report of the Secretary-General on regional cooperation in the economic, social and related fields will be presented to the Council. In addition, the annual overview report of the UN system Chief Executive Board for Coordination (CEB) will be presented to the Council.

The coordination segment provides an opportunity to identify areas where the UN system should promote more comprehensive and effective approaches and to recommend ways in which support by the UN system can be strengthened against the backdrop of current challenges.

The Secretary-General¡¦s report on ¡§the role of the United Nations system in implementing the internationally agreed goals and commitments in regard to education¡¨ will provide the background analysis for the debate. The discussion will focus on the work of the UN system in the field of education through the angle of coordinated and/or joint initiatives, as well as partnerships with other stakeholders aimed at accelerating progress towards MDG2, Education for All and related goals. The report also provides food for thought on emerging trends in education development and their potential consequences on the international education agenda.

Under the financing for development agenda item, the Council will have before it the Summary by the President of the Council of the special high-level meeting of ECOSOC with the Bretton Woods institutions, the World Trade Organization and the UN Conference on Trade and Development, held in March 2012.
