Africa: 'We need billions, not millions'

Speaking on behalf of 100 Million children deprived from their fundamental right to education. Mr. Kailash Satyarthi, Chairperson of the Global Campaign for Education and Global March Against Child Labour slammed rich countries for breaking their promises on education. He said: "Is it not a shame that when we talk of military and defence and war budgets, we use the figures of billions, but when it comes to education, we always talk in millions? We have to talk about enough money for education, which has been promised by the international community." He was addressing the official press conference of the IMF-World Bank Development committee spring meeting in Washington, D.C.
