2015: Global Action Week

The Right to Education 2000-2030 – Vote for Education!

In 2000, the world’s leaders made a series of promises intended to guarantee education for all by 2015. While significant progress has been made, it is clear that these promises will not be met.

This year, the world will agree new frameworks and governments will make a new set of promises. It is critical that civil society holds politicians accountable for the progress and failings of the last 15 years, demands that these promises are honoured, and has a say in what is being promised to make the right to education a reality by 2030.

2015 provides us all with a unique opportunity to make a difference for decades to come, and GCE is committed to making the most of it. This is why we are asking politicians, representing their citizens at the World Education Forum in May and the UN General Assembly in September, to Vote for Education.

Global Action Week 2015 took place from 26 April to 2 May.
