Financing Learning for Every Last Child

Sustainable Development Goal 4 commits the world to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” World leaders have promised to ensure every girl and boy will learn from a quality education. If the current trends of education financing continue, we will be 50 years late in ensuring inclusive quality education for all.

This briefing sets out what Save the Children believes offers solutions to the education financing gap. 2017 presents great opportunities to change this trend. Save the Children calls on governments and the international community to provide a change in education financing and to ensure resources are used in the interests of those children last in line for an education.
