Missing the mark

A school report on rich countries' contribution to universal primary education by 2015

Produced by: Global Campaign for Education (GCE) 2005

This report assesses the aid efforts of 22 industrialised nations belonging to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and grades countries on the quantity and quality of education aid they provide to poor countries.

The report finds that rich countries are still falling well short of the financing targets they set themselves, although some countries, such as Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark, are performing well. However, the worst performers include Austria, the USA, New Zealand, Spain, and Italy.
