Plenary Session: Mechanism for funding Education, a global public good

 

  

Storyline: Following the Presidential Roundtable on Financing Education which broadly supports the need for investment in education, it is necessary to outline the imperative and mechanisms for funding education, a global public good.  Funding of education is urgent and growing.
