SEND A STRONG MESSAGE TO WORLD LEADERS ON EARLY CHILD EDUCATION

In three weeks, world leaders will gather in Oslo and will have an opportunity to publicly commit to the creation of a Global Humanitarian Fund and Platform for Education in Emergencies to guarantee that millions of children affected by war and natural disasters can have a safe place to play and continue learning.

These leaders have the power to change the lives of children who’ve already survived some of the toughest childhoods imaginable. But without public noise, some leaders may forget these children - or delay it for so long it loses any meaning.

Can you share the message that NOW is the time for decisive action on education in emergencies?
It’s no surprise that when a crisis occurs, children are the most vulnerable. But what many people don’t understand is that education doesn’t just equip children for the future — it protects them in the present. Children in school are less likely be trafficked, forced into early marriages, or exploited as child soldiers. They stand a better chance of escaping poverty.

With the more than 6 million people (including you!) who have already signed the call to action in the #UpForSchool petition — to get all children everywhere in school and learning by the end of 2015 as promised — we are gaining momentum.

Please send another powerful message to leaders at the Oslo Education Summit with the tweets above.  If you're not on Twitter, please boost our Facebook message to these leaders by adding your message of support  
Thank you for your support!
Ben, Tyler, James and the team at A World at School
