On the 23rd April millions of people of all ages and backgrounds in over 100 countries are taking exactly the same lesson. This lesson is about everyone's right to a good quality education, especially for those most excluded on a daily basis. It is the highlight event of the Global Campaign for Education's Action Week in 2008. Right now 774 million adults and 72 million children are without an education. Those living in conflict areas, with HIV/AIDS, with disabilities, in rural areas or simple poverty are most likely to miss out on an education. It's for this reason that we're asking politicians and journalists to go 'Back to School' to take part in this World's Biggest Lesson. Anyone can take part in this lesson. In fact the more people who take part the more we've got the potential for world politicians to listen up and to make some progress in helping the world's most marginalized people access the education that is rightfully their's.
