OTTAWA — Funding for education in developing countries should be considered a key foreign policy matter, says the head of an organization aimed at getting more children into schools and improving their learning.
Education is “core to everything else,” from trade to health and security, said Alice Albright, chief executive of the Global Partnership for Education. The Washington, D.C.-based organization was established in 2002 and is comprised of almost 60 developing countries, donor governments, international organizations, the private sector and other groups.
Albright, the daughter of former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, was in Ottawa Thursday for meetings with federal politicians, government officials and other organizations, before an evening panel discussion on “Education at the Margins,” held by the Aga Khan Foundation Canada.
