Post 2020 EU aid must address structural and new COVID related inequalities in education
In response to Commissioner Urpilainen’s commitment to allocate 10% of EU’s aid to education, ACT EU, FCA and 10 other NGOs prepared recommendations on how and where to spend it. EU aid to education should be based on strengthening government systems, in particular in Sub-Saharan Africa. The EU should continue implementing a twin-track approach, by allocating general funding to foster quality, resilient and inclusive education systems for all, as well as targeted funding to follow the learners at higher risk of being left behind.
