Join global online discussion about financing and governance in education

• Do parents have a right to know that children should be able to read by the end of the first year in school?
• Do they have a right to know how their child’s school compares to other schools?
• Do parliaments in donor countries have a right to know whether the funds contributed by their taxpayers are leading to real results?

The Global Partnership for Education’s representative in an online consultation led by the UN about governance and financing in education, Bob Prouty, said YES to all three questions. Bob said he believes we need to continue to push hard for increased transparency around financial flows, but even harder for transparency around learning.

Another question raised is “Who should be held accountable for ensuring that children receive a good quality education?” Some responded definitively that this is the role of national governments while others believe it’s shared by many actors including teachers, families, and students themselves.

What do you think? Should education be more transparent? How should it be funded? Who should be held accountable for the children learning?
