7. “All children and young people of the world, with their individual strengths and weaknesses, with their hopes and expectations, have the right to education. It is not our education system that have a right to a certain type of children. Therefore, it is the school system of a country that must be adjusted to meet the needs of all its children” (B. Lindqvist UN rapporteur on UN Standard rules)

9. To meet the EFA targets, $8 billion (US) is needed
$8 billion is:
four days´ worth of global military spending
half of what is spent on toys in the USA every year
less than Europeans spend on computer games or mineral water

The total amount spent internationally to deal with the millennium bug scare was roughly twice the debt owed by the world´s poorest countries
