This summary report has been developed as a sequel to analytical study of Status, trends and challenges of EFA in South Asia (2000 – 2015), conducted by the National University of Education Planning and Management (NUEPA), India, with the technical and financial support from UNESCO New Delhi and UNICEF Regional Office for South Asia (ROSA). The purpose of the current publication is to analyse the EFA goals and the way forward for the South Asian region covering eight countries, namely, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Together, they have formed an economic and geopolitical organization known as South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation (SAARC). The policies formed aim to promote welfare economics, collective self-reliance among the countries of South Asia, and accelerate socio- cultural development in the region. Besides being extremely large in terms of land and population, the region appreciates huge diversity in culture, ethnicity, religion, history and language within and between the countries.
