Send My Friend To School Campaign 2009

EDM number 864 in 2008-09, proposed by John Battle on 24/02/2009.
Categorised under the topics of International development and Schools.

That this House welcomes the launch of Send My Friend to School 2009 organised by the Global Campaign for Education; notes that on 22 April millions of people in over 100 countries will take part in The Big Read to highlight the importance of literacy; calls on world leaders to redouble their efforts to meet the promise made in 2000 that every child in the world would complete a quality education by 2015; notes that over 70 million children still do not get a chance to go to school; and urges the Government to live up to its spending commitments on education in developing countries to ensure that £1 billion per year is spent between 2010 and 2015, and that those countries furthest from achieving education for all by 2015 are prioritised for funding.

This motion has been signed by a total of 61 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
