Education on the Brink - G20, IMF, World Bank
The Spring Meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) are a ‘make or break’ moment for whether the G20 deal will benefit the millions of children and adults struggling to get an education, according to a new policy report from the Global Campaign for Education (GCE).
<!-- Main content -->
“Education on the Brink” shows that without significant changes to the IMF architecture and removal of conditionalities, the poorest nations will remain unable to lift themselves out of recession. Education systems will be left to languish without desperately-needed funds and the teacher workforce, already squeezed, is likely to face further pressure. The future of millions of children and illiterate adults now rests on whether the new cash injection given by the G20 to the IMF is accompanied by a substantive overhaul of macroeconomic policy frameworks, say GCE members.
“A good education is everyone’s human right, essential for individual growth as well as the economic growth of every nation. Paying teachers is not a luxury expenditure, nor is it optional. There’s not a single IMF worker who got to their position without a good education and a bunch of great teachers. Everyone should have this chance, and that means making the resources available to recruit, train and pay teachers”, commented Kailash Satyarthi, GCE President.

Education
It certainly should be taken more seriously. If these countries are going to improve their economies and standard of living a decent education system has to be put in place.
