Unite 4 Education: Why Invest?
The key messages from this brief are that: education is a right; education is a public good and contributes to social, cultural, democratic and economic development; education contributes to the personal development of individuals, including their intellectual, social and physical development; education encourages people to become active citizens and contribute to the development and well-being of society; education is a necessary investment for solving the current crises; and finally, that the privatisation of education financing undermines social equity and distorts the mission of educational institutions.
