A new GEM Report UNESCO policy paper shows the amount of aid allocated to education has been falling for six years in a row. Total amounts to the sector are now 4% lower than they were in 2010, even though total development aid has increased by 24% during this period. “Aid remains far short of what is needed to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4, putting our commitments at risk. Aid would need to be multiplied by at least six to achieve our common education goals and must go to countries most in need. Yet, we see that donors to education are shifting their attention away from the poorest countries,” cautioned Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO. Bit.ly/FundEd
