Education ٢٠٣٠ Framework for Action

Additional efforts must be directed at leveraging all of the current spending to achieve better results. This is why improved governance and partnerships are essential, but other innovations are necessary too:

· Focus investments on equity inclusion and quality: Getting serious about equity, inclusion and quality is an innovation in most systems. All investments – current and new – should be screened against a key criterion: do they help ensure that all people, including the most marginalized and vulnerable, acquire the knowledge, attitudes and skills they need for their lives and livelihoods and for the full realization of their right to education?

· Orient private financing resources: Beyond its crucial role in paying tax, the private sector has emerged as a contributor with significant potential to complement resources for education and increase synergies. It will be essential to ensure that spending on education from the private sector is oriented towards the countries and people most in need, and to reinforce education as a public good[[l]]. Successful partnerships with the private sector will require effective coordination and regulatory mechanisms to ensure transparency and accountability.

· Challenge and expose misuse of resources: Crucial funds for education are lost through corruption and inefficiency. Independent monitoring and tracking of spending can

significantly increase the funds that schools actually receive.

· Institute transparent monitoring and reporting: Direct commitment to a coordinated approach and mutual accountability system, including transparent monitoring and reporting on the financing of Education ٢٠٣٠, is required. This would include particular attention to whether financial resources are reaching the most vulnerable populations and least developed countries. Such commitment requires developing capacity and setting aside adequate resources for data collection for financial reporting.

Conclusion

١٠٩. We, the international education community, stand strongly united on a new all-encompassing approach to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for children, youth and adults, while promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. We will work collectively to accomplish all of the education targets; this in turn will also strengthen international cooperation across the world of education. We agree that significant additional financing is needed to achieve the new targets and that resources should be used in the most effective manner in order to push forward progress on Education ٢٠٣٠. We also stress the need for good governance and citizen-led accountability in education. Convinced that Education ٢٠٣٠ will make historic progress in education, we commit to bold, innovative and sustainable actions to ensure that education truly transforms lives in the world. Achieving Education ٢٠٣٠ means that success can only be declared when it can be declared for everyone.
