The International Day of Education, January 24, is a moment to reaffirm our shared commitment to fully funded public education and to the educators who make quality inclusive education possible. As we celebrate the third anniversary of the Go Public! Fund Education campaign, this toolkit brings together powerful quotes from Education International leaders—voices that inspire action.
Go Public! Fund Education is an urgent call for governments to invest in public education, a fundamental human right and public good, and to invest more in teachers, the single most important factor in achieving quality education.
