A Project Syndicate Series for the Oslo Summit on Education For Development.
On July 6-7, 2015, heads of government, education ministers, and international organizations convened to discuss solutions for the world’s 59 million out-of-school children. Building on the outcomes of the World Education Forum in Korea, the Oslo Summit on Education for Development marked the second-to-last high-level meeting on education before the General Assembly of the United Nations in September in which the official Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was adopted. It also marked the first time that world leaders officially prioritized education in emergencies by agreeing on a financing mechanism for education in emergencies. They also established an International Commission on the Financing of Global Education Opportunities to link economic growth to global education development.
