To gather information, the group decided to conduct a wide survey of the existing educational and training programmes, courses and curricula in the field of disarmament and non-proliferation education at all levels of education, in all regions of the world. It will also recommend ways to promote such education and training at all levels of formal and informal education, in particular the training of educators, parliamentarians, municipal leaders, military officers and government officials. The group will examine ways to utilize more fully evolving pedagogic methods, particularly the revolution in information and communications technology, including distance learning, so as to be helpful to educators in the developing world. It will also recommend ways in which organizations of the United Nations system with special competence in disarmament or education or both can harmonize and coordinate their efforts in the field. The report will be submitted to the General Assembly at its fifty-seventh session in the fall of 2002.
