Feb 2010 Oxfam last month released a report saying that the future of the 72 million children currently out of school depended on a fundamental shift in the way education is funded globally. Titled “Rescuing Education For All”, the report calls on G8 and G20 leaders to launch a Global Fund for Education at their annual summit in Canada in June.
This comes on the heels of the new UNESCO report that reveals a vast $16 billion annual education financing shortfall. Oxfam’s report highlights an alarming decline in aid commitments to the Education for All - Fast-Track Initiative (FTI), set up by world leaders in 2002 to help low-income countries achieve universal basic education.
“The scandal of the missing billions revealed by UNESCO today shows how fundamentally the FTI and other education donors have failed,” said Oxfam report author Katie Malouf. “Aid commitments for education are being conveniently forgotten in the economic downturn.” For more information on the Oxfam report click here
