Investing in education is the single most
effective means of reducing poverty. Overall, the global education story
has been positive in the past decade, with the number of primary
school-aged children not attending school decreasing from over 100
million to 67 million. The Global Partnership for Education is the only
global partnership devoted to getting all children everywhere into
school for a quality education. An investment in the GPE Fund of US$2.5
billion from 2011 to 2014 will allow significant progress in education
access and quality to be made. This level of progress in education would
have major secondary impacts on child and maternal health, reducing the
number of children who die annually of preventable causes by 350,000
and saving the lives of 14,000 mothers each year.
