Sustainable Development Goals and Brighter Future

world girls boys: To ensure these children don't also lose out on their chance at a better and brighter future, education must become a priority during emergencies, according to Huffington Post Canada. In adopting the Sustainable Development Goals last year, governments, including Canada's, pledged to ensure that all of the world girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education by 2030. When a child life is uprooted and turned upside down in times of crisis, they can lose their home, their friends, and even their loved ones. However, without increased action and funding to reach and teach children affected by crises, the world will fall far short of this goal. However, as the world looks forward to the United Nation General Assembly in September, Canada should boldly pledge to meet its fair share of the current $8.5 billion annual funding gap for education in emergencies. The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau announcement, on the final day of the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul, of an additional $331.5 million in humanitarian assistance funding to help meet immediate life-saving needs and address unprecedented humanitarian challenges, is a welcome step in the right direction.
