Education for All Act of 2004

H.R. 5177, the Education for All Act of 2004, seeks to make universal basic education a primary goal of U.S. foreign policy by assisting developing nations in providing quality schooling for all children. The bill would establish a federal task force to coordinate a global education strategy and authorize the U.S. government to provide financial and technical aid to countries that commit to reforming their school systems. For citizens, this legislation represents an effort to improve global stability and economic development by increasing literacy and school completion rates in underserved regions of the world.
