'We propose a record high allocation of NOK 3.4 billion for aid for education in 2017.
– Vi foreslår rekordhøye 3,4 milliarder kroner i utdanningsbistand i 2017.
There are 263 million children and young people who do not go to school because of conflict or poverty.
263 millioner barn og ungdom går ikke på skole på grunn av krig eller fattigdom.
The global youth unemployment rate is more than 25 %.
Over 25 prosent av ungdommene i verden er arbeidsledige.
Without a major upgrade of the education sector, by 2030 more than 1.5 billion people will only have primary education.
Hvis ikke skolesektoren rustes kraftig opp, vil 1,5 milliarder mennesker i 2030 kun ha barneskoleutdanning.
These figures are from a recent report from the International Commission on Financing of Global Education Opportunity.
Det viser en fersk rapport fra Den internasjonale kommisjonen for finansiering av utdanningsmuligheter.
'In recent years, Norway has been at the forefront of efforts to push education higher up on the global agenda.
- Norge har de siste årene vært en pådriver for å løfte utdanning på den globale agendaen.
Our aim is to realise the right to education of all children – regardless of gender or background.
Målet er å sikre alle barns rett til utdanning, uavhengig av kjønn og bakgrunn.
But attending school is not in itself enough, the quality of education also needs to be significantly improved.
Men skoleplass er ikke nok i seg selv, kvaliteten på utdanningen i utviklingsland må heves betydelig.
In order to give young people a chance in today's labour market, we also attach importance to vocational training and cooperation with the business sector,' said Mr Brende.
For å gi ungdom en sjanse i et moderne arbeidsmarked, satser vi på yrkesopplæring og samarbeid med privat næringsliv, sier Brende.
In 2013, the allocation for aid for education was NOK 1.7 billion.
I 2013, var bistanden til utdanning 1,7 milliarder kroner.
It has since increased steadily, and amounted to NOK 2.85 billion in 2016.
Siden har den økt gradvis, til 2,85 milliarder kroner i 2016.
In its budget proposal for next year, the Government proposes an increase of nearly NOK 550 million, bringing the total up to NOK 3.4 billion.
I forslaget til statsbudsjett for 2017 foreslår regjeringen en økning på nærmere 550 millioner kroner, til 3,4 milliarder kroner.
Norway's aid for education is channelled through UN organisations such as Unicef (United Nations Children's Fund), Unesco (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), and a number of NGOs.
Norges bistand til utdanning går gjennom FN-organisasjoner som FNs barnefond (Unicef), FNs organisasjon for utdanning, vitenskap, kultur og kommunikasjon (Unesco) og FNs høykommissær for flyktninger (UNHCR), Det globale partnerskapet for utdanning (GPE) og en rekke frivillige organisasjoner.
Norway also cooperates directly with the authorities in several countries.
Samtidig har Norge et direkte samarbeid med myndighetene i flere land.

The effects are felt beyond the gas market and are sometimes counter-intuitive; between 2006-2011, the United States CO2 emissions went down by 7 percent and are approaching the 1990-Kyoto baseline, largely due to coal-to-gas fuel switching (and the financial crisis).
