The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has a target for 2030 of all young people completing secondary school of good quality. In 2010–2015, on average only 45% of young people were completing secondary school. To meet this target more and better financing is essential.
The "Aid to education: a return to growth?" (Global Education Monitoring, May 2018) provides an update on donor commitments.
It discusses the main multi-stakeholder partnerships in external financing in education.
The international education financing architecture currently includes three mechanisms:
- The Global Partnership for Education
- Secured pledges in Feburary to replenish its fund for 2018–2020
- The multilateral partnership, Education Cannot Wait
- For the financing of education in emergencies;
- The International Finance Facility for Education
- Is taking shape as a proposal to donors and multilateral banks.
