According to
this news article, Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown wants to create a
worldwide fund that tackles the hidden and silent emergency in education. There
is a recent report on Gordon Brown speaking on the silent education crisis. In which
he states how global education crisis is barely making the headlines and how
people tend to ignore the issue. To help resolve this issue he wants to create
an independent Global Fund for Education that will raise 13billion a year. He
believes this will help achieve the United Nations vision of primary education
by the year 2015. Sixty-eight million children of primary school are not in
formal education Gordon states. Mr. Brown wrote: “In the midst of our
increasingly knowledge-based and interconnected global economy, millions of
children in the world’s poorest countries are out of school. “Millions more are
in school, but receiving an education of such abysmal quality that they are
unlikely to gain even the most basic literacy and numeracy skills.” Gordon also
states that all 193 United Nations member states are signed up to a Global
Millennium Goal for primary school education by every child by the year 2015.
