Global Campaign For Education

EDM number 914 in 2007-08, proposed by Michael Moore on 07/02/2008.

That this House notes that at least 72 million children worldwide do not receive any primary education and that 57 per cent. of these children are girls and 33 per cent. have a disability; further notes the Millennium Development Goal to achieve universal primary education by 2015 and is dismayed that according to the UN's most recent assessment the international community will not meet this target in sub-Saharan Africa and across Asia; supports the Global Campaign for Education and its belief that education is a universal human right and the key to poverty alleviation and sustainable human development; and therefore calls on the Government and the international community to redouble their efforts towards achieving free access to primary education worldwide by 2015.

This motion has been signed by a total of 68 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
