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, <a href="http://www.imperial.ac.uk/partnershipchilddevelopment" target="_blank">Partnership for Child Development</a>’s Lesley Drake joined forces with HE John Kufour, Gordon and Sarah Brown and partners from the UN’s <a href="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" target="_blank">Education First Initiative</a> 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: <a href="https://secure.aworldatschool.org/join-malala-friends" target="_blank">https://secure.aworldatschool.org/join-malala-friends</a> Thank you for your support and please forward this on to anyone who might be interested in making education for all a reality. <div> Cheers, Francis <a href="http://www.schoolsandhealth.org/Pages/GlobalInitiative.aspx" target="_blank">Click here to find out more about Global Education Initiatives</a> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Francis Peel Senior Communications Manager Partnership for Child Development Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology Imperial College London Tel: <a href="tel:%2B44%20%280%2920%207594%203292" value="+442075943292" target="_blank">+44 (0)20 7594 3292</a> | Skype francis.peel <a href="http://www.schoolsandhealth.org/" target="_blank">www.schoolsandhealth.org</a> | <a href="http://www.hgsf-global.org/" target="_blank">www.hgsf-global.org</a> | <a href="http://www.twitter.com/schoolshealth" target="_blank">twitter.com/schoolshealth</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/PartnershipforChildDevelopment" target="_blank">facebook.com/PartnershipforChildDevelopment</a> Join the debate and sign up to the schoolhealth mailing list @ <a href="https://mailman.ic.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/schoolhealth" target="_blank">schoolhealth@imperial.ac.uk</a> </div> </div> </div> _______________________________________________ schoolhealth mailing list <a href="mailto:schoolhealth@imperial.ac.uk">schoolhealth@imperial.ac.uk</a> <a href="https://mailman.ic.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/schoolhealth" target="_blank">https://mailman.ic.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/schoolhealth</a> </div> </div></div></div>
