Brown launches new report on education: Education For All; Beating Poverty, Unlocking Prosperity

A new report by the former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has been released ahead of the G8 meeting. Entitled “Education For All; Beating Poverty, Unlocking Prosperity” it calls on world leaders to tackle the education emergency in the world’s poorest countries that denies millions their right to education. He warns that failure to act will increase inequality, weaken economic growth and slow progress towards reducing poverty.

The report will be presented to political leaders at the G8 summit in France next week. It argues that while the G8 and G20 leaders understand the value of education, there needs to be engagement in education in a more credible and long term way. To address this, the report calls for the creation of an expanded and reformed Fast Track Initiative (FTI) to back the efforts of national governments in Africa and other regions and achieve Education for All.

The report has been launched today in South Africa with Graca Machel where they will also announce plans for the new GCE High Level Panel for Education.
