Early indications suggest that, though 193 countries committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), most leaders are failing to prioritise education, threatening the success of not only global education goals but the wider sustainable development agenda.
Malala Fund’s new paper reviews the available evidence on international aid to education by some G20 and Nordic countries, and domestic spending on education by the E9, the nine most highly-populated countries in the Global South. The E9 accounts for more than half of the world’s out-of-school children.
Overall, not a single donor country or E9 country government has markedly increased its education funding since the start of the SDGs.
