**Hello All, ****

** **

In 2000, world leaders made a commitment to get all children into school by
2015. With a little under three years to go to that deadline 57 million
children around the world still do not go to school. ****

** **

To tackle this shortfall, earlier this year, Partnership for Child
Development <http://www.imperial.ac.uk/partnershipchilddevelopment>’s
Lesley Drake joined forces with HE John Kufour, Gordon and Sarah Brown and
partners from the UN’s Education First
Initiative<https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.globaleducationfirst.org%2F&ei=FGfEUcP1IImm0wX6qYCYCg&usg=AFQjCNEMnFUMK2fmQIfLVkni7IPYbDu1Dg&sig2=T1P_NHBh5n-f1Y4ebiO1lQ&bvm=bv.48293060,d.d2k>to
strengthen
our efforts and make a final push to get all children into school and
learning.      ****

** **

You may remember, last October a Taliban gunman boarded a school bus and
shot 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai because they feared her strong voice in
the fight for women’s rights and youth education. She survived, but that is
not the end of the story.****

** **

On 12th July, Malala will turn 16, and she’s spending her birthday at the
UN Youth Assembly making her first public speech since the Taliban
attempted to take her life. She’ll be calling on global leaders to end our
Education Emergency, and our friends at A World At School have just
released a petition to support her.****

** **

Please join us in supporting Malala’s fight to bring the 57 million
out-of-school youth – especially girls – access to education by 2015. Sign
the A World At School petition now:****

Thank you for your support and please forward this on to anyone who might
be interested in making education for all a reality. ****

Cheers, ****
