Global Campaign for Education Action Week

The Global Campaign for Education works to ensure access to education for everybody, no matter which country they are born in.

• Education is imperative to tackling poverty. When individuals have the chance to learn basic life and literacy skills, economies grow faster and poverty rates decline. When people go to school, they are able to eventually earn more money and support their families
• Education is essential to improving health, halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and enabling families to better cope with illness.
• Education is a human right. Human rights are inherent, every person is born with them and they cannot be given or taken away.

This year, the focus is on education women and girls. Read more here!

June 2012, specific dates to be determined.
