FUTURE GOALS FOR GLOBAL EDUCATION: R4D IS CONDUCTING AN EXERCISE TO INVESTIGATE AND SCOPE A POST-MDG EDUCATION FRAMEWORK. THE EXERCISE INVESTIGATES THE CURRENT WORK ON LEARNING INDICATORS, THE NEXT MDGS IN GENERAL, EDUCATION GOALS AND FRAMEWORKS, LEARNING GOALS, AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF ALL THIS ON A POST-MDG FRAMEWORK. EDUCATION FINANCINGFEASIBILITY STUDY FOR A GLOBAL BOOK FUNDAROUND THE WORLD, 250 MILLION CHILDREN ARE UNABLE TO READ. BECAUSE OF A LACK OF TEACHING MATERIALS, THEY STRUGGLE TO RECOGNIZE EVEN BASIC WORDS AND NUMBERS. IN MANY COUNTRIES, LEARNING ASSESSMENTS HAVE FOUND THAT MORE THAN 50 PERCENT OF STUDENTS CAN'T READ A SINGLE WORD AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF SCHOOL. WITHOUT BASIC LITERACY, THEY CAN'T GO ON TO LEARN MATH, SCIENCE, AND OTHER SUBJECTS. THE RESULT IS A LOST OPPORTUNITY FOR PERSONAL AND INTELLECTUAL GROWTH AND A MASSIVE LOSS IN ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT FOR THEIR COUNTRIES.FINANCING UPPER SECONDARY EDUCATION2015 WAS THE LAUNCH OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGS), AN AMBITIOUS MULTI-STAKEHOLDER EFFORT THAT BUILDS UPON THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS (MDGS) TO OUTLINE A SET OF GLOBAL OUTCOMES AND TARGETS FOR THE NEXT 15 YEARS. THE PROPOSED GOAL 4, RELATING TO EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE EDUCATION AND LIFELONG LEARNING, IS EXPANSIVE, CALLING FOR ACCESS TO EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND THE COMPLETION OF FREE, EQUITABLE, AND QUALITY PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION FOR ALL BOYS AND GIRLS. HOWEVER, THERE ARE UNCERTAINTIES AROUND HOW TO MOBILIZE ADDITIONAL FINANCING FOR UPPER SECONDARY EDUCATION, AND HOW TO MITIGATE AGAINST NEGATIVE IMPACTS A FOCUS ON FEE-FREE UPPER SECONDARY EDUCATION COULD HAVE ON THE QUALITY AND EQUITY AT LOWER LEVELS OF EDUCATION.ANALYZING THE POTENTIAL FOR RESULTS-BASED FINANCING IN EDUCATIONTHE GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP ON OUTPUT-BASED AID (GPOBA) IS A WORLD BANK-ADMINISTERED PROGRAM WHOSE FOCUS IS ON ONE PARTICULAR FORM OF RESULTS-BASED FINANCING, OUTPUT-BASED AID (OBA). GPOBA HAS CONTRACTED R4D TO CONDUCT A SCOPING STUDY ON THE POTENTIAL FOR OBA IN THE EDUCATION SECTOR, ONE OF GPOBA'S LESS-TESTED SECTORS TO DATE.BUYING DOWN LOANS FOR EDUCATION: THE GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP FOR EDUCATION (GPE) COMMISSIONED R4D TO ASSESS THE FEASIBILITY OF A LOAN BUY-DOWN TO SUPPORT MEASURABLE REFORMS IN EDUCATION, WHILE ALSO RAISING FINANCING FOR THE SECTOR.
