Knowledge, Learning, Community

This article is meant to be some sort of call for action, but it does not fill me with confidence. In this article, Julia Gillard describes "what the global education architecture could be to ensure that all resources and efforts are geared towards addressing and solving the learning crisis." She bases this on three major steps. The first is that multilateral agencies working on education "should aim to achieve full alignment". The second is that the Global Educational Forum (GEF) "must have complete clarity of purpose and work beyond advocacy." Third, "we should also solve the problem that global education does not have one key galvanizing global metric that the education community can get behind." My question is, are these the key issues facing education today? Is it just that governments and philanthropists can't get organized?
