When:  Thursday, October 6th 2:00-3:30pm EST

Where:  World Bank I Building, 1850 I (“Eye”) Street NW, Washington, DC 20006, Room: I2-250

As part of the Civil Society Policy Forum of the 2016 World Bank/IMF Annual Meetings, you are invited to:

This session will launch a new report from the Global Campaign for Education, “Private profit, public loss: Why the push for low-fee private schools is throwing quality education off track.” It will also examine Education International’s campaign around low-fee private schools in Kenya. The findings will facilitate a dialogue between Northern and Southern civil society, the World Bank, and participants as to whether for-profit, low-fee private schools give poor families options for quality education or further marginalize the poorest groups.

Salima Namusobya Executive Director, Initiative for Social and Economic Rights

Tanvir Muntasim International Policy Manager – Education, ActionAid

Wilson Sossion President, Education International, Africa Region
