UK Minister adds her voice to 1GOAL
© 2009 Foreign & Commonwealth Office
UK Foreign Office Minister Glenys Kinnock has signed up to the 1GOAL campaign during her recent visit to South Africa.
Speaking at Winnie Ngwekazi Primary School in Soweto, she said “Many millions more children are in school now because governments have focussed on that as a priority, but it is still totally unacceptable that 75 million children are not receiving any kind of primary education.”
She also said that she will discuss 1GOAL when Commonwealth leaders meet next month in Trinidad & Tobago.
The 1GOAL campaign, a partner to ONE, aims to ensure that the lasting legacy of the football World Cup next year in South Africa is that every child can be learning in school by 2015.
