Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan joined South African schoolgirl Nthabiseng Tshabalala in New York to hand in an 18-million-strong petition to the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon. The petition, presented as a chalkboard representing the millions of people that had signed up, demanded immediate action from world leaders to deliver education for the 69 million children currently unable to attend school. Among the millions who have signed the Global Campaign for Education’s 1GOAL petition are stars from the worlds of football–including Pele, Zinedine Zidane, Franz Beckenbauer, and Michael Essien–and entertainment.
