Each month we share a well-researched campaign action with our grassroots network. Our action materials include the context of the campaign, additional information, tips and guidance. The 'call to action' each month is often to write to, and engage with MPs and Government Ministers. Who you write to depends on who RESULTS UK policy and parliamentary teams think we can influence the most! We have guides available to help you take these actions. To receive our campaigns and updates, subscribe to our mailing list.
We've had a great first half of the year with our grassroots campaigning. With your help, we've secured major new investment global education with the UK commitment of £300 million to the Global Partnership for education; and had great success on our work with TB and mining. That means more children in school and learning, realising their potential, and working to help create a better world for all of us.
57 million children around the world are out of primary school today. Even more children are not receiving the education they need to fulfil their potential. Most of these children live in poverty. All are being denied the opportunity to determine their future.
The Global Partnership for Education replenishment campaign is coming to a head. After six months of hard work by RESULTS UK grassroots, and our partners in RESULTS Australia, Canada, and the US, as well as our civil society partners here in the UK, we’re in the final stages of the campaign. We’ve done well so far, thanks to all of our joined-up work on the issue, and we hope the UK will make a strong commitment to the GPE, potentially transforming the lives of millions of children worldwide.

Education for all is at a critical moment. While some great progress has been made, there are still 57 million primary age children out of school around the world. A further 69 million adolescents are unable to attend lower secondary school, and around 250 million children in school are not learning basic skills, even though half of them have spent at least four years in school. Meanwhile, global spending on education is declining just when it is needed most.
