  6. Reaching the marginalized

  7. Marginalization in education What is it? “Clearly remediable injustices around us which we want to eliminate”The idea of justice,Amartya Sen The Report focuses on: Measuring marginalization – new national data (DME data set) Drivers of marginalization – causes such as poverty, gender, language, location, disability which intersect – and are reinforced by social attitudes Remedies – Policies for reaching and teaching the marginalized

  10. Getting left behind – drivers of marginalization What are the causes? Educational marginalization driven by interacting layers of disadvantage Five key processes which drive marginalization: Poverty, vulnerability and child labour Group-based disadvantages Location and livelihoods Disability HIV and AIDs

  11. Leveling the playing field The inclusive education triangle Three broad sets of policies which can combat marginalization

  12. The aid compact: falling short of commitments

  13. Aid to basic education – a worrying picture? 12.3 12.1 12.0 10.4 9.9 9.5 8.2 7.9 7.6 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 • Disbursements are rising , but... • Aid commitments to basic education fell by 22% in 2007, to US$4.3 billion • Currently US$2.7 billion in aid to basic education for 46 low income countries Total aid to education Total aid to basic education Constant 2007 US$ billions 5.6 5.5 4.5 4.3 4.0 3.4 3.4 3.2 3.2 Commitments

  14. The Education for All financing gap The EFA financing gap = 2% of bank rescue effort in the US and UK Average annual resources needed to finance EFA (2009-2015) US$36 billion 40 Aid shortfall $ 11 billion 35 EFA 30 financing gap Additional aid to basic education if Gleneagles commitments are met In 2010 25 $ 16 billion 20 $ 2 billion Additional resources from prioritization $ 4 billion $ 3 billion 15 Current aid to basic education Additional resources from growth $ 3 billion 10 Estimated current 5 resources $ 12 billion 0

  15. The multilateral architecture – needs reform The Fast Track Initiative (FTI) has made some important achievements, with good practice (support for national planning) US $491 million disbursed through the Catalytic Fund Major challenges Poor disbursement record and low political support No funding from private or philanthropic sources Conflict-affected countries are weakly covered Reform priorities Lessons drawn from global health funds Greater political leadership and revitalized agenda in 2010

  16. Rising to the EFA challenge

  17. Conclusions Set equity-based targets for all EFA goals and monitor their progress. Identify the drivers of marginalization for specific groups and adopt integrated policies that address them. Integrate provision by NGOs within national education systems and expand the entitlements of the marginalized. Increase resource mobilization and strengthen equity in public spending. Honour aid commitments and strengthen the multilateralarchitecture for aid to education. Convene a high-level pledging event linked to the 2010 Millennium Development Goals summit.
