Overseas Aid to Education Down 10% Since 2010
Humanitarian funding to education in emergencies critically low, conference told
Education has suffered disproportionately from recent cuts in international development aid, a conference in Dublin has heard, with 58 million children of primary school age still without schooling.
International donor financing for education has dropped 10 per cent since 2010, which is seven times the rate of decline for overall global development aid, said Alice Albright, executive director of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE).
