Unless world leaders support the education movement, the prime minister is worried about “wasting the legacy of talent”

Olis Johnson It is hoped that world leaders will dig deeper to prevent Covid-19 from destroying the lives of millions of children.

This Prime Minister Warned that as he prepares to attend a summit in London to raise funds for the Global Education Partnership (GPE), the pandemic may leave a “lasting legacy of wasted talent.”

The UK pledged 430 million pounds to the project last month, aiming to secure at least 5 billion U.S. dollars (3.6 billion pounds) in funding over the next five years.

GPE’s activities are designed to help 175 million girls and boys in up to 90 countries/regions learn.

In a speech before the summit, Mr. Johnson said: “We are facing a struggle to ensure that Covid-19 does not destroy the lives of millions of children and leave a lasting legacy of wasting talent.

“There are too many children around the world-especially girls-who were out of school before the pandemic.

“Enable them to learn and realize their full potential is the greatest thing we can do to recover from this crisis and build a better, greener, and fairer society.

“Today, I urge governments, businesses and philanthropists to invest in the future by fully funding the transformative work of the Global Education Partnership.”

Mr. Johnson’s commitment to GPE in June came at a time when his government pushed for a £4 billion cut in aid, despite warnings that it would affect education programs.

This British government Use 0.5% of gross national income for official development assistance instead of the 0.7% promised in the Conservative Party’s 2019 election declaration.

It believes that the cuts are temporary and implemented due to the economic shock caused by Covid-19, although charities worry that the cuts may be indefinite.
