In this never-ending news cycle, most people probably missed the news that Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai just graduated from high school. Yousafzai risked her life for the chance to go to school. As she says, “One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.”
A staggering 263 million children and youth are out of school globally. It doesn’t have to be this way, and now The Global Partnership for Education is launching a new plan to give millions more kids the education that is their fundamental right.
But that plan requires resources to make it a reality. I hope we can count on our representatives in Congress to help make sure the U.S. shows leadership in education.
