Dialogue Series II: Let’s Talk About Tax Justice for Education

Group Submission Type: Special Session

Description of Session

This panel explores the challenges of providing high quality public education around the globe in a context where greater financial burdens are placed on households, we see rising wealth inequalities, and governments compete over tax concessions to large corporates. The panelists explore a range of options that might be pursued in the interests of tax justice for education, including proposals made by the International Commission on Financing Global Education Opportunity, as well as the potential for global taxation mechanisms to be used to finance the education and other SDGs.
