U.S. Basic Education Programs Making Positive Impact Around the world, U.S. basic education programs are transorming the lives of children, families and communities. What's more, mounting evidence shows the positive impact education has on economi growth and building security and stability. In a recent short paper, the Basic Education Coalition argues that education must play a key role in U.S. initiatives in global health, food security, climate change as well as in empowering women and and girls, and gives concrete examples of the important education work undertaken by BEC members that illustrates these linkages.

Basic Education Coalition Calls for a U.S. Global Education Initiative Significant action is required if the world is to realize the global objective of Education for All by 2015. President Obama has committed to erasing the global primary education gap by 2015 and has called for a $2 billion Global Education Fund, while both the Administration and the U.S. Congress have given high priority to quality basic education programs. The Basic Education Coalition (BEC) believes that an opportunity now exists to help move the strong U.S. commitment to basic education forward. In our paper, "A U.S. Global Education Initiative: Accelerating Progress Towards Education for All," BEC's members present their best thinking on how the U.S. might seize the current opportunity for collaborative global leadership in quality basic education assistance. Our paper sets forth specific objectives and implementing recommendations for a more effective and integrated approach for planning and implementing these crucial programs around the world.
