Kofi annan as we open the 21st century, more than 110 million schoolage children are not attending school. Two thirds are girls. The key to all the locks that are keeping girls out of school, from poverty to inequality to conflict, lies in basic education for all. We need all those with power to change things, to come together in a Global Alliance for Girls Education. That is why the United Nations is launching a new Global Initiative to educate girls to ensure that by 2015, boys and girls will have equal access to all levels of education. That is a test we must pass, and we shall pass it only if children all over the world can pass the test of basic education and go on to pass to test of life.
