Affirming the role of the United States in improving access to quality, inclusive public education and improving learning outcomes for children and adolescents, particularly for girls, around the world.
Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This resolution is a non-binding statement by the House of Representatives expressing support for U.S. efforts to expand access to quality, inclusive public education worldwide, especially for girls and other marginalized groups. It lists findings about the value of education, recognizes existing U.S. programs and international partnerships, and urges U.S. agencies to prioritize education in humanitarian and development efforts. It does not create new law, funding, or legally enforceable obligations, but signals the House's priorities and expectations.
This is a simple resolution acted on only by the House of Representatives; it does not require approval by the Senate or the President and does not have the force of law.
This House resolution affirms the United States’ role in improving access to quality, inclusive public education worldwide, emphasizing girls, children with disabilities, and those in emergency settings.
It cites international education statistics, commends USAID programs and partnerships (Global Partnership for Education, Education Cannot Wait), and urges U.S. agencies to prioritize education and meet budget commitments.
The resolution encourages integrating education into humanitarian responses and using diplomatic, development, and humanitarian tools to expand equitable learning outcomes.
As a House simple resolution, it is nonbinding and not a statute; adoption by the House likely, statutehood unlikely.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is a well-articulated symbolic statement: it clearly defines the issue, cites data and existing programs, and directs nonbinding exhortations to relevant executive actors. It does not, nor is it expected to, create binding obligations, funding authorities, or formal reporting and oversight.
