There is growing recognition that progress on the Sustainable Development Goal for education (SDG4) is fundamental to the achievement of all the other SDGs. But two years into implementation of the SDG framework, the financing breakthrough to achieve the Education 2030 agenda has not been made.<\/span><\/p>\n

Domestic financing is the most critical element in the delivery of national education targets. While aid still has an important role, over 97% of resources for education must come from the domestic budgets of low- and lower-middle-income countries. Yet alongside the stagnation of aid, education fails to secure the level of priority needed in domestic budgets. Even those low- and lower-middle-income countries which have met the target of at least 20% of budget to education and 6% GDP, the base from which they start is often insu cient for this to truly deliver the full definition of quality education \u2013 let alone all targets set by the sustainable development agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is time for a radical shift. E orts to increase external resources, while welcome, must go hand in hand with international action to support countries to meet their education<\/span>
\n<\/span>targets sustainably and leave no-one behind. Collaborative e orts must be made to deliver tax justice, which we believe is the key to unlocking financing for education, and\u00a0<\/span>Foundations.\u00a0<\/span>many other public services for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n
