Global Action Week 2010: Financing for Education
TORONTO April 6, 2010 - Join ACCESS in a global movement for worldwide education. This year's Global Action Week will take place April 19 - 25 with the theme of Financing for Education. The campaign calls on Northern donors and Southern governments to provide the money needed to pay for teachers, books, classrooms and other essential components of learning.
The Canadian Global Campaign for Education invites schools to take part in 1GOAL: Lesson for All on April 20, 2010.
On this day in over 100 countries, global soccer stars and celebrities will join with millions of children in support of everyone having the chance to go to school and learn. Along with the event, the hope is to make history by setting a new World Record for the biggest ever simultaneous lesson, raising awareness for this important issue.
