G7 Call for International Cooperation to Protect Children’s Right to Education in Emergencies and Crises

EN

 

This call to action has been developed with GCE-Germany in coordination with the global G7 Education Advocacy Working Group, co-chaired this year by GCE members World Vision and Oxfam. The Global Campaign for Education (GCE) Secretariat and several of its member national education coalitions are also part of this group. This call to action takes up most of the demands included in the GCE #ProtectEiENow call to action, and it has received further support from diverse organizations involved in the education community.

We hope this call to action will serve as a powerful engagement tool to draw the attention of political leaders to education issues and to raise the visibility for education during this year's G7.

Let's not forget about previous G7 commitments and declarations on education and particularly in girls' education, accountability to these declarations, and the need for increased political will and financing to support children's education in fragile and emergency contexts, and for the longer-term building of resilient education systems.

The Global Campaign for Education (GCE) is a civil society movement that aims to end exclusion in education. Education is a basic human right, and our mission is to make sure that governments act now to deliver the right of everyone to a free, quality, public education.
