Security message:

263,000,000 children and youth are out of school worldwide.  I am troubled by conflict and terrorism around the world.  Youth without an education can be 9-times more likely to be recruited by rebel groups.  60 percent of the Global Partnership for Education funds go to countries facing conflict of fragility.  Will Senator / Representative ___________ cosponsor S Res 286 / HRes 466 in support of the Global Partnership for Education?

Health message:

263,000,000 children and youth are out of school worldwide.  Evidence links education to better health outcomes.  Educated mothers are 50% more likely to immunize their children to protect them from deadly childhood diseases.  The Global Partnership for Education has a plan that includes 9.4 million MORE girls completing primary school by 2020.  Will Senator / Representative ___________ cosponsor S Res 286 / HRes 466 in support of the Global Partnership for Education?

Economic message:

263,000,000 children and youth are out of school worldwide. Many countries face a widening gap between the skills acquired in school and the skills needed to enter the workforce.  The Global Partnership for Education has a plan for 19 million more children to complete primary school and nearly 7 million more complete lower secondary school by 2020.  This will improve the economy for those children & their countries and provide us with economic trade partners.
