Cost of cutting education is measured in children's futures

The article discusses the growing financial challenges facing global education funding, highlighting how economic downturns and policy shifts threaten educational access for millions of children, particularly in low-income countries. It uses the personal story of Kakada, a Cambodian boy who was forced to drop out of school due to poverty but later returned with support. The piece cites OECD and UNESCO data showing a significant decline in international development aid, which disproportionately affects education budgets in poorer nations. It warns that reduced funding leads to fewer opportunities for students, weaker teaching standards, and increased dropout rates. The article concludes by emphasizing the potential role of philanthropy in addressing these gaps.
