THE SPECIAL CONFERENCE

Recognizing that education is a fundamental human right and is essential for the practice
of all other rights,

Aware that education promotes individual freedom and yields important human
development benefits,

Deeply concerned that the main barrier to education in LEDCs is due to the high costs of
providing education to the population,

Approving of the actions of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) as the aid they
are giving to developing countries in terms of education is tremendous,

Noting with deep concern that global donor support for the GPE is decreasing at an
alarming rate and that the total amount of aid for education has gone down by 4% since
2009,

Expecting that the GPE will reach its goal of raising $3.1 billion in new investment from
donor countries into the fund, as well as increases in other aid to education,

Deeply disturbed that 95% of children with disabilities are denied access to education in
the world's poorest countries due to discrimination, a lack of training in inclusive teaching
methods and a lack of disabled accessible schools,
Alarmed by the fact that gender is one of the biggest reasons children are denied access
to education is that they are the 'wrong' gender,

Noting with deep concern that many homes are a far distance from the nearest school,
leading to education being inaccessible,

Deeply concerned that many poor families in Africa are unable to pay for school due to
'informal fees' despite school being theoretically free,

Aware that many schools in LEDCs are unable to fund proper teachers or teachers at all,

Concerned that war and conflict within a country is a main barrier to education,

Deeply disturbed that 66 million schoolchildren were malnourished in 2009 according to

the World Food Program (WFP) causing them to not take their education as well as they
should,

Fully aware the 759 million adults are illiterate and lack the awareness necessary to
improve living conditions for them and their children,

Fully aware that the region with the worst levels of education is Sub-Saharan Africa while
the country with the worst levels of education in the world is Niger,
