A call to action to protect public financing for education for an accelerated and sustainable economic recovery from the pandemic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ahead of the Global Education Summit on July 28-29<\/p>\n

Your Excellencies,<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Uhuru Kenyatta, as a co-host with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the unprecedented highlevel Global Education Summit: Financing GPE 2021-2025, on July 28-29, made a call to action to his fellow<\/a> Heads of State to endorse his political statement<\/a> on education financing. The GPE replenishment will be a pivotal moment for the global community to come together to support quality education for all children and youth.<\/p>\n

We appreciate your unwavering commitment to building a sustainable and prosperous continent.<\/p>\n

Investment in human capital, including education, is the base upon which every nation thrives \u2013 eradicating poverty and fostering inclusive and sustained growth. It is the pathway to harness Africa\u2019s demographic dividend and transform African economies, including ensuring the success of flagship initiatives such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).<\/p>\n

We, the undersigned, urge you to commit to protecting education expenditure to pre-COVID levels, increasing domestic financing towards the 20% global benchmark and beyond, set policies that are inclusive, advance gender equality and leave no child behind, and ensure the efficient use of resources. It is critical that education is prioritized in public expenditure enabled by the freed-up funds and new liquidity from debt relief initiatives and a new allocation of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) when secured. It is also crucial that countries address critical spending inefficiencies. The 2020 African Economic Outlook<\/a> highlighted Africa\u2019s low efficiency in public spending as a cause of the continent\u2019s lagging in education achievement.<\/p>\n

It is also vital that countries reduce military spending to benefit increased education spending, which has<\/a> the potential to foster peace<\/a> and, in some cases, help address the grievances that lead to armed conflict. African girls and women, in particular, are calling for action<\/a> to increase national budget allocations for education (and decrease that of militarization) to accelerate the development of quality, free and inclusive education at all levels, ensuring equal access for girls and boys. To echo the voice of Aya Chebbi, AU Youth<\/a> Envoy<\/a> \u2018To address security, leaders need to deal with the root issues. Militarization is only a response. It doesn\u2019t deal with prevention or transformation.\u2019 Young people want to see money being invested in what will really build a future for them and the next generation, including through strong and inclusive economies. Through prioritizing education investments, young people want you to build forward better.<\/p>\n

There are two other areas where governments can take action that could transform the financing of education in the coming years. Firstly, ambitious action to increase domestic tax revenues in progressive ways can generate sustainable resources for investment not only in education but also in health and other public services.\u00a0 Clear commitments to increase tax-to-GDP ratios through taxes on the wealthiest individuals and companies can dramatically transform the resources available for education.\u00a0 Secondly, governments can make clear commitments to resist any pressure for a premature return to austerity. The squeezing of public finances significantly affects education spending, perhaps most notably when constraints are placed on the overall public sector wage bill. Teachers are often the largest single group on the wage bill, so any cuts or freezes can disproportionately impact education spending. Investing in appropriate corruption tracking and mitigation mechanisms will also go a long way in ensuring all finances committed to education programs are utilized and accounted for as planned.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 has led to the biggest education emergency in our lifetime. While the pandemic has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives on the continent today, it equally poses a significant threat to the future of millions of young people, particularly girls. In Africa, COVID merely exacerbated a pre-existing learning crisis. Prior to the pandemic, <\/a>87% of children in sub<\/a>–<\/a>Saharan Africa<\/a> could not read and understand a simple story by their 10th birthday. More than half of all school-aged children could not master basic secondarylevel skills, including critical competencies such as literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, and critical thinking.<\/p>\n

The disruption caused by COVID-19 has worsened this learning deficit. At the pandemic\u2019s peak, school closures impacted over 250 million children in Africa. Due to the pandemic, the number of out-of-school children and youth could now grow substantially for the first time in decades. We have also seen inequity and inequality grow because of the pandemic. Children who were already most at risk of being excluded from accessing quality education have been most affected. They have lost crucial school calendar years leading to a negative impact on their learning outcomes, period of stay in school and wellbeing.\u00a0 Girls, in particular, are likely to be disproportionately impacted, with an estimated 20 million school<\/a>–<\/a>aged girls<\/a> at<\/a> risk of dropping out<\/a> permanently and 10 million more marriage<\/a>s<\/a> likely to occur by 2030<\/a> due to school closures, increased adolescent pregnancy, disruption to child marriage programming and economic instability. This lost potential is catastrophic, not only for individuals but for future economies and generations to come. It could compromise the future of our continent and our capacity to recover from the ravages caused by the pandemic.<\/p>\n

To avoid turning the continent’s learning crisis into a deep and long-lasting catastrophe, protecting and increasing investments in education is paramount. Our call to you is necessary because of the long history of underfunding the education sector in Africa. Between 2014 and 2018, sub-Saharan Africa governments spent an average of\u00a0 17% of their expenditure on education- below the 20% threshold recommended by<\/a> UNESCO<\/a>.<\/a> With COVID-19, education budgets are at an even greater risk. Only 5 out of the 25 countries with data met the required funding. While we understand Africa’s current financial difficulties, we cannot sacrifice today\u2019s crisis for a catastrophic future. Decisiveness by African leaders and collaboration with other world leaders is needed to protect funding for the education sector.<\/p>\n

The upcoming Global Education Summit is an important opportunity to secure financial commitments and political will, prioritize education and set the trajectory for the future. Africa has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to emerge from this crisis doing things differently – to build a more prosperous and equal future for ALL its children by transforming education and unlocking the Africa we want.<\/p>\n

We call on you to endorse President Kenyatta\u2019s statement and to make bold and ambitious individual country commitments to protect and increase education expenditure, to expand domestic tax revenues in fair ways and to resist a premature return to austerity. Investment in education is key to an accelerated recovery and tangible progress in every nation, even in the face of an economic downtown.<\/p>\n

If we are to eradicate poverty and hunger – improve health, develop a skilled workforce, protect our planet, advance gender equality, and build a more inclusive and peaceful society- we must empower every individual with access to quality education. That starts with improving how governments finance the education of their children and youth to deliver long-lasting transformation.<\/p>\n
