To sustain progress , the Commission also proposes a “ financing compact ” that would give countries undertaking reforms and making investments priority access to international aid , as well transparency and other mechanisms to hold political leaders and international organizations accountable . Giving education a higher priority in international development financing is an important component of the Commission 's vision . Education receives one of the smallest proportions of requests for humanitarian aid — 40 percent of what was requested in 2013 , compared with 86 percent for the food sector and 57 percent for the health sector , according to Time . From 2012 to 2014 , multilateral , bilateral , and foundation investments in education in developing countries totaled $ 15 billion , compared to more than $ 25 billion devoted to global health . A Commission goal is to make education a priority in international finance just as health has traditionally been . " We might not see children dying in the streets because of a lack of a quality education , but the long-term impacts are just as consequential , " Commission member and Fundación Chile President Patricio Meller wrote . " Children who do not receive a quality education end up trapped in generations of extreme poverty that not only impact them but their communities , families , and children . " The Learning Generation report was presented to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on September 18 , 2016 , coinciding with the 2016 United National General Assembly meeting . The Secretary-General received the report positively , calling it “ a major piece of research and analysis ” and saying it “ points to education as the most powerful investment we can make in the future ; a fundamental driver of personal , national and global development . ” World leaders at the 2017 G20 Hamburg summit committed themselves to advancing the International Finance Facility for Education ( IFFEd ) , an initiative proposed by the Commission which could make it possible to fund universal education . The 2017 G20 Leaders ' Declaration text reads : " We note the UN Secretary-General 's proposal to establish an International Finance Facility for education taking into account other existing initiatives , such as the Global Partnership for Education and Education Can not Wait , and look forward to examining it in further detail under Argentina 's Presidency with a view to making recommendations on it . " In the six months leading up to the G20 , nearly 140,000 citizens took action calling on world leaders to put education on the G20 agenda . The International Finance Facility for Education featured prominently in this grassroots movement and was lauded for its ability to “ increase education financing by more than $ 10 billion annually by 2020 ” as reported by The Guardian
