Key points

The resolution reaffirms that access to free, quality, and inclusive education is a fundamental human right.
There is an urgent need to address the massive funding gap for education in low-income countries, which currently lacks billions of dollars in necessary investment.
The EU has already committed significant funds through the Global Europe instrument, with over 1.4 billion euros committed to various partner countries by 2022.
The EU aims to dedicate at least 10% of its development cooperation budget to education, with a long-term goal of reaching 15%.
