The theme of this year's meeting was "Global Campaign." Steve Sinnott referred to education as "the great liberator". The Steve Sinnott Foundation supports the millenium goal of all children in primary education by 2015.
Speakers at the meeting were the first students to win "campaigner of the year" award: Bethany Law and James Simmonds. They ably described their visit to Tanzania, where they witnessed the importance of education to Tanzanian families and the barriers which prevent full attendance, both cultural and financial.
Children lucky enough to go to school may face a long walk on an empty stomach making concentration difficult.
18 million more teachers are needed to fulfil the millenium goal, yet the IMF limits the amount countries can spend on the public sector from loans. Part of the aims of the Steve Sinnott Foundation will be to set up a network of teachers worldwide to allow multicultural support.
