What has RESULTS in the UK achieved in promoting education for all?

RESULTS campaigns in support of the Education For All objectives with a particular emphasis on ensuring that the UK does all it can to ensure that the EFA’s objectives are met as speedily and effectively as possible. RESULTS works particularly hard to encourage the removal of barriers to education that continue to impede progress towards the EFA goals.

Our recent campaigns have involved the following main activities:

• Building relationships with key government officials, especially at DFID, so that we could express our concerns and better promote education for all.
• Mobilising support from other NGO’s so that UK civil society could speak with one voice.
• Informing and engaging MPs through letter writing and face-to-face meetings.
• Submitting evidence to the International Development Select Committee in October 2007.

Key successes:

• Generated media coverage of the issue through grassroots action.
• In July 2007, the World Bank and IMF agreed to ‘significantly reduce’ the use of wage ceilings.

Current Campaign

RESULTS is continuing to campaign for the abolition of user fees and are seeking to persuade the UK government to exert pressure on the World Bank and other International Institutions to end their support for such damaging and counterproductive measures.
