Education is crucial to sustainable development.
No country has been able to fight poverty, raise living standards or lower mortality rates without it. Yet it does not receive the importance, or the resources, it deserves - despite repeated pledges made by the international community. The mission of LearningChannel.org is to promote quality education for all. It does this by using the Internet to highlight the best initiatives and programmes in education worldwide. In doing so, it promotes education as the most cost-effective investment Governments ever make.
