Gordon Brown said the U.S. and Europe ‘must do more’ to address the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and warns of a global education crisis.
"The Middle East will help, many of the Islamic states will help, America must do more and so too must Europe, and at least we can start to avoid what is really happening before our eyes and that is emaciated families and children dying, and simply not enough food," he added.
Speaking Friday ahead of the International Day of Education on Jan. 24, he said there needs to be a focus on"innovative ways of financing education."focus on the medical and economic crises created by the Covid-19 pandemic, but not on the education crisis. Brown, who served as U.K. prime minister from 2007 to 2010, told CNBC that 268 million children were officially out of school even before the pandemic, and half of the children of the world are not getting the education that allows them to have basic literacy and numeracy at the age of 10.
