Africa: AIDs hindering attainment of education goals

About 40 African countries will not achieve Education For All (EFA) by 2015 due to the Aids pandemic. The global umbrella teachers' trade union, Education International (EI), has said HIV/Aids was "one of the biggest" challenges to Africa in attaining the goal. Consequently, the trade union has launched a five-year Sh1.35 billion (15 million euros) programme to sensitise teachers on Aids.
