Education Cannot Wait has published an interview with Dr Faiza Hassan, Director of the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies. The interview touches on the shrinking budgets for international aid, education in crisis, girls’ education and localisation.
Dr Hassan says: “In a time of shrinking aid budgets, protecting and expanding investment in education is not optional; it is the most strategic and cost-effective investment we can make. If we want to solve the world’s greatest challenges, from climate change and public health to economic inequality, we must stand behind communities to invest in education.”
