"Mr President, it is incredibly sad and, in fact, humiliating for us all that, in the year 2000, there are still children who do not receive any basic education or schooling at all and that there are still adults – almost a billion of them – who cannot read or write and who are thus also prevented from participating in the political and democratic life of their society. It is, of course, also a waste of human resources that this is the way things are. Unfortunately, it is also those countries which most need educated people to participate in the democratic development of civil society which lack resources for education.
As has been mentioned, the world’s governments agreed in 1990 that steps should be taken to ensure that everyone received a basic education by no later than the year 2000. At the Copenhagen Summit, the deadline was changed to 2015. Now, a new summit looms, namely the World Education Forum in Dakar, Senegal in April. We know that education is the key to combating poverty, promoting respect for human rights etc. We cannot accept a situation in which the deadline by which everyone is to receive a basic education is moved forward once again.
I am pleased with this resolution. I hope that the decision will be a unanimous one and that the clear message will be: ensure you establish a specific framework for a global action plan for prioritising educational needs in the world. Make resources available. This is also our message to the Commission."@en1
