The Case for Universal Basic Education for the World's Poorest Boys and Girls
Phi Delta Kappan, Vol. 87, No. 03 (November 2005): 213-216.
Gene B. Sperling
An estimated 110 million children between the ages of 6 and 11 -- 60 percent of them girls -- will not see the inside of a classroom this year, and another 150 million are likely to drop out before completing primary school. Yet this is a disease with a known cure. We know what tools are needed and what models are proven to work. We also know that the cost of that cure -- perhaps $7.5 billion to $10 billion per year -- is minuscule compared with the enormous benefits it will bring for health, economics, women's empowerment, and basic human dignity.
