Key messages

 

• Political commitments made at the global level mean little without financial commitments at the national level: no government will meet the education goal or targets without adequate and reliable financing, of good quality.
• Education underpins the achievement of all development goals: failing to make adequate investments in education puts the fulfilment of the entire SDG 2030 agenda at risk.
• Financial commitments which have already been made MUST be fulfilled – including domestic and donor commitments to GPE, bilateral commitments by donors, and global commitments contained in the Sustainable Development Goals, Education 2030 Framework for Action, and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda.
• Citizens have a responsibility to hold governments to account for reneging on any existing financial commitments which could deny them their right to education.
• The commitment to 12 years of free education from early childhood to secondary must be backed by prioritisation in national education budgets and in ODA to education.
• Youth and adults have been systemically failed by decades of underfunding for literacy programmes –this trend must be reversed to ensure that future generations can fulfil their potential, engage in active citizenship, and increase their contributions to communities and societies.
• Political leaders must make the necessary commitments to ensure quality and equity in education, prioritising investments that have the most impact.
• Domestic financing to fulfil the right to education IS accessible – with fairer tax systems, big companies paying their fair share, and when revenues generated by natural resources are converted into lasting benefits for citizens.
• Tax is the most sustainable source of financing for developing countries, and a concerted effort must be made by states to make global tax rules fairer.
• Public money, including through ODA, must go to strengthen public education systems
• Adequate funds must be allotted to address all forms of educational inequities including, but going beyond, gender to include other bases of exclusion.
• Budget data should be available in transparent, disaggregated and timely manner in a form that can be used for tracking by citizens and civil society.
