Support Funding for International Basic Education

Congress is finalizing the federal budget for fiscal year 2025. Please reach out to your members of Congress and ask them to support at least $922 million for the international basic education account in the final State and Foreign Operations bill. This funding will address global learning needs and will ensure continued U.S. leadership on basic education.

Thank you for standing with fellow GCE-US advocates in support of education for all!

We just need a few pieces of information to connect you with your Senators and Representative:

Support Robust Funding for International Basic Education

Subject: Please Support Funding for International Basic Education in the Final FY2025 State and Foreign Operations Bill

Message:

As your constituent and a supporter of the Global Campaign for Education-US, I am writing to urge you to support at least $922 million for the international basic education account in the final FY2025 State and Foreign Operations appropriations bill, including at least $121.6 million for the Global Partnership for Education and at least $30.4 million for Education Cannot Wait. The World Bank estimates that 7 out of 10 children in low- and middle-income countries are unable to read and understand a simple text by the age of ten (called “learning poverty”). In Sub-Saharan Africa, the region with the youngest population in the world, the learning poverty rate is as high as 89%. If more than half of the next generation cannot read, it will have severe implications on the global economy, global health, and democracy building efforts.  This is not the time to step back from supporting a generation of learners. Experience shows that when the U.S. Government retreats from critical development and humanitarian programs, it leaves gaps that other influences will fill. Please support at least $922 million for the international basic education account in the final FY2025 State and Foreign Operations appropriations bill. I greatly appreciate your consideration of this request.
