Now is the Time for Education for All - and for the President to Lead
|
Send a Letter to the Editor Calling for a Global Fund for Education The words of Presidential Medal of Freedom winners to the G8 this summer: “We, the undersigned, are writing to implore the leaders of the world’s richest countries to renew their commitment to the children of the world by revitalizing the global compact on Education for All. At this year’s G8, we urge those same leaders to announce an agreement to launch a fully resourced Global Fund for Education.” The G8 has yet to seize this opportunity to renew the hope of the 75 million primary school-aged children around the world who are not in school. Let’s raise our voices and make sure the issue – and the world’s children – get the attention they deserve. Write a letter to the editor of your local paper calling on President Obama to heed the call to action and lend his leadership to the creation of a Global Fund for Education.
