Today's jobs increasing rely on higher levels of education. Being without it puts one at risk of hunger. Giving children the knowledge and skills to actively and constructively participate in our society. Achieving equal opportunity so all can develop to their potential. Equal opportunity is a basic principle of our society.
Education provides a way of creating a more level playing field.
It is our most important tool for achiving a great equalization of opportunity. Equal opportunity is also a key requirement in making market economies work at their best. The most efficient outcomes can only be achieved if everyone gets the chance to develop their potential. When education quality is not equal, then this inequality will be magnified through the economy and will produce hunger. The same is also true of education funding.
