If FE was available to all school aged children worldwide, do you think attendance rate would be at 100% (or at least higher than it is now)?  Given that NFE can reach students who may not have access to FE (for multiple reasons) do you think that States should nationally recognize and acknowledge some of the benefits of NFEs?

The article states, “Basic education is commonly regarded as a state responsibility.” But should it be? What are some of the benefits that a NGO may be able to offer that a State could not?
