Paris__ Aid to the education sector in the world has fallen consecutively in the last six years, which is a worrying situation, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO, said in a statement today, Radio Reloj informed in its digital portal.

Aid to this sector currently stands at $ 12 billion, four percent below 2010, according to figures provided by the report 'Aid to education is stagnating and not going to countries most in need', prepared by an entity attached to UNESCO.

UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova warned that the aid is still far below the amount needed to reach Sustainable Development Goal 4, referring to quality education.

According to the statement, the United States and the United Kingdom remain the two largest donors to the basic education sector, but in the period 2014-2015, they reduced their allocation by 11 and 9 percent, respectively.
