More than eight million people have joined the global call for all children to get an education.

TheyÂ鶹APP™ve added their names to the , which will be handed in to world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September.

We couldnÂ鶹APP™t have reached that remarkable eight million milestone without the amazing help of individuals, schools, faith groups and communities around the world.

Ben Hewitt, A World at SchoolÂ鶹APP™s Director of Campaigns and Communicationsr, said: Â鶹APPœThe petition is truly global, with signatures being added from more than 185 countries. These are individuals making their voices heard and signing up.

Â鶹APPœPeople have been adding their names to the campaign in villages, towns and cities, from youth events to faith meetings. This is a people-led campaign and it is important that the demands are heard by world leaders. 

Â鶹APPœEvery signature is crucial to us as we take the message forward and we think it is important to physically take these petitions to the United Nations. This is already the biggest-ever petition for education and it is inspiring to see at all the names and signatures of people who have signed Â鶹APP“ whether they are in the Philippines or Gaza, New York or Delhi. These are people with a common goal of getting every child into school.Â鶹APP�

A World at SchoolÂ鶹APP™s offices in London and New York are filling up with huge piles of petition signatures and more are arriving each day.

Ben added: Â鶹APPœWe recently received a set of signatures from a girlsÂ鶹APP™ school in the UK, from churches around the world, and a signature book of names collected in an office and a school we didnÂ鶹APP™t even know was collecting in Australia.

Â鶹APPœThere is something powerful and inclusive about what has been happening this year. Getting every child into school is about inclusion and fairness.

Â鶹APPœWe have taken this approach with our campaign Â鶹APP“ anyone can add their name online but the majority of support has come from communities where people struggle most to get a decent education.Â鶹APP�
