World leaders joined forces in Mozambique last week to exhort wealthy nations, including the United States, to step up their contributions toward educating all children in the next decade. The United Kingdom last week pledged $15 billion--annually--to give a major boost to the Education for All Fast Track Initiative that builds on a promise made by 150 nations in Dakar, Senegal, in 2000 to send every child to school. Leaders of major industrial nations reaffirmed the promise at the G-8 conference last year.
