Bloomberg Commentary
Gene Sperling
May 1, 2008
Among the casualties of the food crisis will be the schooling of millions of the world's poorest children. The connection is as simple as a school lunch.
Today, 72 million children worldwide are denied access to a basic education. In addition, over 226 million youth are denied the opportunity to attend secondary school.
Global Education Action Week was April 20-27, 2008.
Through the Council on Foreign Relations, the Center for Universal Education conducted outreach for a youth training that brought over 50 young students from across the country to Washington, DC to learn about education in developing countries.
