In the second of his reports on global education, Gordon Brown calls for the 'silent emergency' in education to be addressed. Despite the known impact that it can have on pulling individuals, families and nations out of poverty, education remains low on the international agenda, making the promise made to millions of the world's children increasingly likely to be broken. Alongside a series of recommendations, the report also identifies an interest from emerging economies to become new donors.
GCE welcomes this timely report, especially its challenge to donor governments to increase the scale of their aid to education. The report is an important reaction to the way education has drifted down the international agenda. It is a convincing report which shows how change is possible and its call for 2015 Action Plans and the drive to mobilise new resources from emergent donors are vital.
GCE agrees with the call to deepen and speed up the GPE reform and believes that there is a broad consensus and will for this. GCE will continue to monitor GPE reform and hopes that it will be capable of delivering on the ambition that Gordon Brown outlines. GCE remains committed to working with GPE to make it into a more ambitious and effective financing mechanism and we support the call in the report for annual multilateral funding on education of $3-4 billion. We particularly welcome the call for 10% of aid budgets to be earmarked for basic education - a call GCE first made in our Fund the Future Report so that donor countries place the same priority on basic education as developing countries do.
We hope the bold challenges and strong analysis in Gordon Brown's report along with the campaigns GCE and civil society will be running will lead to real action from World Leaders during the course of 2012."
