Hey PAOV,I knew many girls growing up. In fact, my mother was a girl once and she valued the importance of an education. I believe that giving girls equal access to education worldwide is not only the right thing to do, but saying so might make me her favorite son.
Right now, 58 million girls of primary school age are denied an education, and 62 million adolescents are without access to a secondary school.
The good news is that primary school enrollment around the world is higher than it’s ever been, but we still haven’t secured education for all.
Send a tweet to Erna Solberg, the... Prime Minister of Norway, a leader of education worldwide, to secure a financial pledge to education for all.
Every child everywhere deserves a quality education, and Norway will be the one to kick it off. Given Norway’s leadership and influence on world education, their support of the Global Partnership for Education will get the rest of the world to follow.The Global Partnership for Education needs the cash to disburse at least $15 billion USD per year by the year 2020. We have a long way to go to achieve this goal!
Join me and thousands of global citizens to tweet at Norway to support the Global Partnership for Education and mobilize the world’s richest countries to make a commitment for education.
Come on folks, I really want to make my mother proud here. Just think about it... We are the voice that can help change the lives of millions of children, break the cycle of poverty, and open the door to the future all children deserve.Thanks for doing what you do-
