What happened in Action Week 2008?
Action Week in DRC took off with the help of all the members of the coalition, 14 schools and 3 social centres. A crowd of 750 people watched as politicians went back to school and participated in a discussion about providing quality education. Thanks to the support of ActionAid a press conference was held to publicise activities. In every state, schools accommodated the politicians and the members of the coalition for all. Coalition partners in the education sector were requested to continue to strive towards the goal of Education for All.

What happened in Action Week 2007?
The location spoke for itself, as Action Week was launched in a run-down, poorly equipped school, where the Ministers of Primary, Secondary and Professional Education, Social Affairs, Tertiary Education and Youth met with campaigners and children. Over the next two days students advocated for compulsory free schooling in a workshop with the ministers that was broadcast on television.
The People’s Palace (DRC’s Parliament) was literally swamped with people as they formed a chain surrounding the building, before handing over a dossier of violations of the Right to Education and demands for free education, and increase in the education budget. The testimonies of a girl and boy, and chain event were shown on seven TV channels across the nation.
