The U.K.’s Youth Representatives Join the Global Call for World Leaders to Fund Quality Education for Every Girl and Boy
Category: Y7
We believe that every child has the right to a quality education, that no child should be left behind, and that G7 nations have a responsibility to create a step-change in education financing. That’s why the Youth7 have made fully funding the Global Partnership for Education a priority in our 2021 recommendations to G7 Leaders.

Securing 12 years of quality education for every girl and boy is a prerequisite to building a better and brighter future for generations to come – and this requires systemic change. GPE is the key vehicle for delivering this, and turning the G7 Girls Education Declaration into a reality for the most vulnerable girls.

This couldn’t be more urgent. The COVID-19 pandemic has reversed decades of progress on education and threatens to exacerbate global inequalities. We can’t let that happen. Young people are clear on this – we urgently need investment in global education, and we need it now.

We call on G7 leaders to take action: provide GPE with the investment required to reach their overall target of at least US$5 billion and enable children and young people all around the world to achieve their full potential.
