Global Campaign for Education

Etc.

<p>The Global Campaign for Education (GCE) is a civil society movement that aims to end the global education crisis. Together we hold governments to account for their promises repeatedly made to provide [Pagelink infos="Education for All|Education for All"]. The GCE's mission is to make sure that government's act now to deliver the right of every girl, boy, woman and man to a free quality public education. It plays a key advocacy role in pushing for the achievement of the [Pagelink infos="Millennium Development Goals|Millennium Development Goals"], notably <b>gender parity</b> in all levels of education by 2015.<br />

<p>Formed in 1999, it is active in over 100 countries. The GCE is a forum for civil society organizations, trade unions, child rights campaigners, teachers, parents and students to join together to demand universal education from governments. 
</p><p>The GCE campaign is driven by the conviction that quality public education for all is achievable, and by the concern for the immense costs of failure. The GCE believes that in an increasingly knowledge-based economy, exclusion from education will translate into growing poverty, inequality and deprivation.<br />
