The high-level plenary session is the first of a number of events Her Highness will be speaking at during the 69th United Nations General Assembly as discussions are evolving post the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) expiration at the end of 2015. Her Highness will urge the international community accomplish its goal to support all children into education by 2015. Gordon Brown, UN Special Envoy for Global Education invited Her Highness as a panelist to address the summit as he moderated the forum of high-level representatives from governments, business, NGOs, UN agencies and foundations to discuss the activities and momentum taking place to accelerate progress on access and learning in the final sprint towards the MDG2 deadline at the end of 2015. In her remarks, Her Highness argued that universal primary education has not been prioritised. “Education has been forgotten and has been a policy orphan. We are now seeing the impact of this neglect and for the first time since the MDGs were launched in 2000, UNESCO reported an increase in the numbers of out-of-school children to 58 million.
