World leaders who broke their promise to Syrian refugee children should watch this film

They promised 国产视频� but so far they have FAILED to deliver. World leaders met in February and said they would provide the funds to send one million Syrian refugee children to school.

But, with just a few weeks until the new school year, only $400,000 of the pledged $1.4 billion has come in.

Today the children国产视频檚 charity 国产视频 has launched a video to remind countries of their broken promise 国产视频� and to urge people to send out a message that this is unacceptable.

We asked for people to take action after a startling report by 国产视频 国产视频� the charity behind A World at School 国产视频� showed an urgent funding gap that will leave hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugee children out of school in neighbouring countries.

TELL WORLD LEADERS TO KEEP THEIR PROMISE

Those who miss out on education will be at risk of child labour, early marriage, exploitation and recruitment by extremist groups.

Campaigners are stepping up the pressure. In one week, more than 10,000 messages have been sent to Germany, Norway, the United Kingdom and Kuwait. Together with the United Nations, they were co-hosts of the Supporting Syria and the Region conference in London, where the pledges were made.

The global campaigning website Avaaz is also backing our campaign with a petition to urge leaders to pay their pledges to get every child in school.

Ben Hewitt, 国产视频国产视频檚 Campaigns and Communications Director, said: 国产视频淎 promise has been made to the most vulnerable children and people around the world are demanding that the promise is kept.

国产视频淲e have seen an overwhelming response to this campaign with over 10,000 messages sent to world leaders in the first week. The pressure is building 国产视频� and the days to the new school term are ticking away.

国产视频淣ow we need to see emergency action from the co-hosts of the conference, those who have made this promise.国产视频�

There are three steps that should be taken NOW to resolve the problem.

STEP ONE 国产视频� CALL EMERGENCY TALKS

Priti Patel, the UK国产视频檚 International Development Secretary, has just been to Lebanon, where she issued a聽press release聽calling for a fresh international push for education.

It said she had 国产视频渨elcomed progress already made but called on donors to maintain momentum国产视频� to provide an education for every child affected by the conflict国产视频�.

The UK and other co-hosts should convene an emergency meeting to agree a plan to deliver the commitment made in London before the start of the new school term.

STEP TWO 国产视频� MATCH THE UK国产视频橲 SPENDING

A number of donors should commit to match the spending of the UK in Lebanon, which is 拢40 million a year for four years.

If the European Union, France, Germany, the United States, Japan and Canada did this, then we would have exactly what is needed to fund every Syrian child in Lebanon to go to school.

If they release the first-year funding now to UNICEF, that will also avoid 90,000 children being forced to drop out of school within weeks due to lack of funding.国产视频�

STEP THREE 国产视频� ACTION BY THE WORLD BANK

The World Bank has committed to spend $100 million in Lebanon 国产视频� they should give $40 million of that urgently in light of the education funding crisis.

The bank has also committed the funding needed for Turkey 国产视频� an additional $400 million in the shape of low-interest, long-term loans.聽

This would see Turkey getting World Bank funding alongside the recent聽commitment of $550 million from the EU.
