Today, more than 59 million primary school-age children around the world are out of school and at least 250 million children in this age group are not learning basic skills.  Girls represent over half of the children who are not enrolled in school.  An additional 69 million teenagers are not attending secondary school, missing out on vital basic skills needed for future employment

The Global Business Coalition for Education (GBC-Education) brings the business community together to accelerate progress in delivering quality education for all of the world’s children and youth.  We believe that education is the birthright of every child and the key to expanded opportunity and future employment.  For companies, investing in education promotes economic growth, leads to more stable societies, fosters healthy communities and makes it easier to do business.  Education spurs innovation and increases the skills of employees, the income potential of consumers and the prosperity of communities where business operates.
