Much of the world has experienced three interrelated crises (food, fuel and finance—the 3Fs) over the last two years, with both developed and developing countries suffering the impact of global economic forces. The onset of the 3F crisis has considerably slowed progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals in many countries, threatening the development of key social sectors. The crisis is anticipated to have an impact on children’s education in many parts of the world, since less financial means will call for coping mechanisms at the family level. These mechanisms may include reduced spending on educational expenses, resulting in lower school attendance of children or the removal of children from school so that they can contribute to the household budget through work in the home, fields or labour market.
