Education changes the world. Let’s give every child the chance to make an impact.
Last night, @Shakira and several world leaders called on the #G20 to stand up for children and fully fund #education . ・・・ #Repost from @shakira : With President Macri of Argentina, Julia Gillard, former PM of Australia and Commissioner of Global Partnership for Education, PM Erna Solberg of Norway, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Education Commissioner & CEO of Save the Children, Wongani from Malawi, and Gordon Brown, former PM of the UK, advocating to raise more funds from countries towards the IFFed.

Will the next generation be lost or learning? If trends continue, by 2030 half of the world's 1.6 billion children could be missing out on the learning they deserve. It's up to #G20 leaders to prioritize #education . Like to show you support our children's future.
We are at risk of losing an entire generation of #refugee children if we fail to ensure they are in school and learning. A recent trip with @SaveTheChildren to Uganda shows the progress being made and challenges ahead. Read Gordon Brown's #WorldRefugeeDay OpEd at the link in our profile.
On #WorldEnvironmentDay , let’s renew our commitment to educating all children so they are prepared to address the challenges facing our planet’s future. Visit the link in our profile to read why former President of Mexico @FelipeCalderonHinojosa believes climate change is an education issue.
Happy #InternationalChildrensDay ! Today reminds us that #education is a human right that every child deserves. ✏️
This week in Nairobi, Kenya we hosted delegates from twelve African countries for our #LearningGeneration workshop. This network of education champions spent the week sharing best practices and innovative ideas to ensure that all children are in school and learning by 2030.
