"Four regional reports on adult learning and literacy have been published focusing on the Arab States, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa between 1997 to 2007. These regional reports will inform discussions at the Sixth International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA VI) to take place end of 2009 in Brazil.

Compiled by UNESCO Member States, the four reports include national information on the situation of adult learning and education since the fifth International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA V) in 1997.

The Sixth International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA VI) was to be held 19-22 May 2009 but was postponed by the Brazilian government due to health security concerns about Influenza A (H1N1). The new dates for the conference will be confirmed shortly." (UNESCO | 24-06-2009)
