A new “school report card” released today reveals that 100 million children are still out of school because G7 and other rich countries are simply failing to provide the funding needed for a quality education. The Global Campaign for Education (GCE) school report grades 22 rich countries on the quantity and quality of education aid they provide to poor countries. The US ranks at the bottom of the class, receiving a failing “F” grade along with Austria, closely followed by “E” grade countries Spain and Italy and “D” graded Germany and France. Norway scores at the top of the class with an A, followed by Netherlands, and “B” ranked Sweden, Ireland and the UK.
