The year 2010 enjoyed vast participation in 9 Arab Countries, with more than 1,070,372 participants in Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Yemen and Somalia. The slogan “One Goal: Education for Allâ€‌ was the main message behind the efforts and activities of the coalitions, in addition to conjugant campaigns like (“We Want to Learn Correctlyâ€‌ was the name of the campaign in Egypt and “Our Rightsâ€‌ was the name of the campaign in Yemen.)
The 2010 GAW focused on enabling coalitions to mobilize and promote the idea of the campaign among people, since the majority of the coalitions were newly established. More importantly, the campaigns focused on fundamental issues in the Arab societies, including social justice, gender equality and data and statistics on the status of education, such that social mobilization, alongside media campaigns, formed the cornerstone of 2010.
The campaign “One Goalâ€‌ coincided with the FIFA 2010 World Cup and sought to guarantee the access of all children to education worldwide. The campaign gathered names and signatures of the audience, players and celebrities to make a unified appeal to all governments to commit to providing education for all. The main idea of 2010 was “funding of educationâ€‌. The GAW came in light of the stumbling of the world following the numerous shocks sustained due to the global financial crisis, and calling for funding education and reminding governments of their global commitments makes expenditure on education a top priority, in addition to increasing local resources devoted for education, networking among civil society organizations to exchange experiences, implement programs in educational development, institutionalization of these programs in the Ministry of Education and encourage funders and the private to uphold their social responsibility and contribute to funding education.
