Welcome
There is no lack of international agreements on the need to fight HIV/AIDS and the importance of education in this regard. MDG’s 2 and 6, the Education for All objectives and the Convention of the Rights of the Child and UNGASS[2] all mention the need for action. Despite these noble words the epidemic still gathers pace. The education sector itself is seriously affected by HIV/AIDS. Teachers are falling away. Millions of orphans and vulnerable children are still not going to school, many of them being affected or infected by HIV/AIDS.
