Ending Learning Poverty: What will it take to end the #LearningCrisis and Achieve SDG4?

Join the World Bank at their Panel Discussion on Ending Learning Poverty, on Monday, September 23rd.  

Latest World Bank research shows that only half of children in low- and middle-income countries can read and understand a short story by late primary age. Eliminating this learning poverty is as urgent a development objective as eliminating hunger, stunting, and extreme poverty. Meeting that objective requires taking forceful and urgent action. 

Speakers: 

• Annette Dixon, World Bank Vice President for Human Development
• David Boutcher, Global Business Coalition for Education
• Goodwin Obaseki, Executive Governor of Edo State, Nigeria
• Henrietta Fore, Executive Director, UNICEF
• Jaime Saavedra, World Bank Global Director, Education
• Peter Tabichi, 2019 Global Teacher and Prize Winner
• Stefania Giannini, Assistant Director-General for Education, UNESCO
