International: World leaders will fail children unless they act urgently to increase investment in education (Includes video)
Theirworld – April 06, 2021
A new Theirworld report warns that world leaders are letting down the most vulnerable children by failing to prioritise education in their post-Covid recovery plans. Our report reveals that, without urgent action, more than half of all children will not have the most basic literacy skills by 2030. This would have “a devastating impact” not just on the global economy but on some of the greatest challenges the world is facing such as climate change, poverty and food security. The Education Finance Playbook warns that at least an additional $75 billion a year, on average, is needed to meet the United Nations’ goal of quality education for every child by 2030.
