One in every six children worldwide do not have access to primary education, and many more start school but do not finish, preventing them from learning the most basic life skills they need.  Education is one of the most powerful tools we have to fight global poverty.  But we need your help to get all children in school. 

The Global Campaign for Education’s Action Week is April 23-29, and teaching your classroom about Universal Access to Education will help promote education for all!
