Working toward global education

Education takes money: building schools, classroom supplies, teacher pay. For decades in the developing world, these things were financially supported by school fees that shut the door on many children that could not afford to pay. In the past fourteen years, many countries have done away with school fees which have led to surges in enrollment.

Support for education around the world is an investment in a safer, healthier and more prosperous future as educated mothers are more likely to send their kids to school, have smaller families, immunize their children and in general be healthier themselves. Countries that have invested in education are less likely to have civil wars

In 2021, developing nations saw the importance of funding education and stepped up to fill funding gaps dedicating large percentages of their national budgets to education, but donor countries fell short and decreased funding for education. It is time to close the gap--not make it wider.
