THE FIRST TERM ENGLISH TEST N°2
Read the text and do the activities below.
UNESCO - the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
was founded on 16 November 1945. For this specialized United Nations agency,Education, Social and
Natural Science, Culture and Communication are the means to a far more ambitious goal: to build peace
in the minds of men.
Today, UNESCO is working to create the conditions for genuine dialogue based upon respect for
shared values and the dignity of each civilization and culture. This role is critical, particularly in the face
of terrorism, which constitutes an attack against humanity. The world urgently requires global visions of
sustainable development based upon observance of human rights, mutual respect and the alleviation of
poverty, all of which lie at the heart of UNESCO‟s mission and activities.
Through its strategies and activities, UNESCO is actively pursuing the Millennium Development
Goals, especially those aiming to:
• halve the proportion of people living in extreme poverty in developing countries by 2015.
• achieve universal primary education in all countries by 2015.
• eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education by 2010.
• help countries implement a national strategy for sustainable development by 2008 to reverse
current trends in the loss of environmental resources by 2010.
In short, UNESCO promotes international co-operation among its 193 Member States and six
Associate Members in the fields of education, science, culture and communication.
"Adapted from the UNESCO official website."
