Achieving Universal Primary Education (EDM351)

Achieving Universal Primary Education

EDM number 351 in 1999-00, proposed by Tony Worthington on 03/02/2000.

That this House believes that it is a scandal that at the beginning of the 21st century over 125 million primary-aged children around the world are not in school and that the ranks of the 880 million illiterate adults continue to grow; acknowledges that education is a human right and a vital pre-requisite for economic growth and social justice; notes the internationally-agreed target to achieve universal primary education by 2015; notes that there are a number of opportunities this year to make Education For All a global priority, starting in April with the Dakar conference; urges the Prime Minister to take the same international lead on education as he and his Government have taken on international debt; and therefore urges the Prime Minister to launch an international initiative which mobilises funding in support of national strategies to deliver primary eduction for all.

This motion has been signed by a total of 85 MPs.
