Despite the Millennium Development Goals made by world leaders in 2000 to have every child in school by a 2015 deadline, 58 million are still being denied their right to education - and schools and school children are being attacked. Over 500 global youth ambassadors in 85 countries were mobilizing as world leaders gathered at the 69th United Nations General Assembly, making their demands that every child in the world can go to school, without danger or discrimination. These young delegates are dispersed back around the world and continue to work as youth collect signatures on their petition #UpForSchool. They are being supported by a unique coalition of businesses, faith leaders, NGOs, teachers and influential individuals from around the world. The former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown signed the petition along with the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. At the same time Hillary Rodham Clinton announced a $600 million effort last Wednesday to enroll girls in secondary schools around the globe, aiming to address security and access problems in the developing world. In the aftermath of the kidnapping of dozens of young women by Boko Haram in Nigeria, the issue received global attention. People finally realize that nothing will change for the most vulnerable in our world without pressure. The world's biggest petition #UpForSchool is waiting for you to sign up.  

The former secretary of state unveiled the plan at the Clinton Global Initiative to help 14 million girls typically between the ages of 11 and 16 to attend school. The initiative, carried out via her family's foundation, aims to improve the quality, safety and security at schools around the world. (HP)
