This document discusses achieving universal primary education. It notes that children in poorer households are four times as likely to be out of school as richer children, and that conflict has increased the number of out-of-school children. It suggests focusing resources on schools, campaigning for poor families to enroll their children, and establishing compulsory primary education laws. Social media advocacy through hashtags is proposed to promote this goal of equal education access.

How can your
interest be

The central governments, local
governments and unions should focus
on putting more resources in schools.

poor families to take their children to
school.
There should be laws for compulsory
primary school education.

money in school, campaign and advocate for the poor children
through social media.
