Today I joined four of our student advocates at the United Nations in New York City. We were part of the first ever #UNYouthTakeover, with more than 600 youth to celebrate Malala's birthday and to call for world leaders to prioritize education. It was inspiring to hear from so many young people who are advocating on behalf of their fellow students, over 130 million of whom are still denied access to education.
In the process of identifying what has to happen in the 1,000 days before the end of the 2015 education Millennium Development Goal, there has been little discussion of how to finance education initiatives worldwide.
With the theme "Every Child Needs a Teacher," the 2013 Global Action Week enabled GCE-US, the Basic Education Coalition and RESULTS to co-sponsor a Capitol Hill reception to highlight the still urgent need to support education internationally both as a right, and also as a means to spur development and lessen global poverty. The reception was in cooperation with Representative Nita Lowey (D-NY) and Representative Dave Reichert (R-WA).
Washington, D.C.---In an effort to continue to raise the profile of the need of comprehensive national and international plans to facilitate and foster Education for All, the Global Campaign for Education-US Chapter with coalition member, The Nobelity Project, is sponsoring a screening of the film "Building Hope" at the Tribeca Cinemas, 54 Varick Street, NYC on February 5, 2013.
