On July 18, 2018, USAID released a draft of the new U.S. Government Strategy on International Basic Education and opened up a window for feedback from the public. Global Campaign for Education-US (GCE-US) and our coalition partners collaborated to propose recommendations for the U.S. Government International Education Strategy, which outlines plans for the implementation of the READ Act.
Global Campaign for Education-US applauds USAID and all government agencies involved in the development of the whole of government education strategy. In particular, we applaud the focus on inclusion, specifically for children with disabilities, girls and marginalized groups, the references to alignment and coordination with multilateral partners, the focus on education in conflict and crisis settings, the inclusion of early childhood education, and the commitment to data and reporting. GCE-US has outlined key points from the U.S. Government Strategy on International Basic Education and incorporated our topline recommendations for the whole of U.S. Government Strategy on International Basic Education. Please view a full summary of GCE-US recommendations here.

Young people such as the students participating in the Global Scholars program are a part of the future generation who will one day shape the world we live in. Let’s empower them.

Fundraising can be a fun and effective way to raise money for a cause or trip. Throughout life, particularly if you wish to work in the social sector, you will often be in a position where you will need to fundraise to support a cause or an organization. Many large nonprofits have entire divisions dedicated to fundraising. Fundraising is a skill that transfers into many other careers. Fundraising can enhance your financial management, interpersonal skills, commitment, creativity and productivity. While it can be challenging to raise funds, it can also be very rewarding. Fundraising is also a great resume builder.
Please call on your Members of Congress to support the Global Partnership for Education and promote continued US investment in education for the world’s most marginalized children.

I’ve been incredibly blessed throughout my four years of high school. There were many challenges and obstacles presented to me, but for the most part, I’ve had the greatest support system through my family, friends, and community.
You are awesome. Your advocacy and collective voices made big change last month and that is awesome—you are awesome.
