The Global Campaign for Education promotes education as a basic human right, and mobilises public pressure on governments and the international community to fulfill their promises to provide free, compulsory public basic education for all people; in particular for children, women and all disadvantaged, deprived sections of society.
The campaign is driven by the conviction that quality education for all is achievable, and by the concern for the immense costs of failure. The GCE believes that in an increasingly knowledge-based economy, exclusion from education will translate into growing poverty, inequality and deprivation. The Global Campaign for Education commits itself to achieve its mission with objectivity, transparency and accountability and to follow democratic norms and processes in all its plans and actions.
An alliance of NGOs in Vietnam has been putting the final preparations on GAW activities to be held in April 2008 at various locations throughout the country. Activities for GAW Vietnam will include various activities, media coverage and a special event held in coordination with the Ministry of Education. Throughout the week, posters and caps will be distributed to target groups all over Vietnam together with information highlighting the key themes of the global campaign.
