FUNDING EDUCATION A new Unesco report shows that 17 developing
countries could pay for education for 86% of out-ofschool children or
42% of out-of-school adolescents if they managed revenues from natural
resources better. Released in the week of World Economic Forum on
Africa, the policy paper reveals that an extra US$5 billion in funding
for education could be raised from these countries per year if 30% of
income from minerals and 75% from oil and gas was converted into public
revenue and 20% of this sum invested in education.
