Updated Thu, November 24th 2016 at 16:03 GMT +3Last week, I attended a global education discussion in Washington DC where experts made a pitch for greater investment in the sector. The Centre for Universal Education at Brookings and the Global Campaign for Education-US hosted a post-election discussion to debate on the most pressing challenges in global education and what the United States of America can do to address them. Other global education experts noted that none of the Sustainable Development Goals can be achieved without quality education. For instance, the Chief Executive Officer-Global Partnership for Education, Ms Alice Albright, called for dialogue between the education and health experts as quality education translates to healthier communities. The discussion was necessitated by the stark findings contained in a recent report published by the International Commission on Financing Global Education Opportunity.
