Zuma's goal is universal basic education

Richard Lapper:

Jacob Zuma, South Africa's president, urged fresh efforts to bring millions of children in the developing world into the school system at a summit of African leaders held on Sunday before the World Cup final.

"We convened this summit because of our strongly held view that the first soccer World Cup tournament on African soil should have a lasting legacy," Mr Zuma said at the meeting in Pretoria, which was also attended by UN and international sporting officials.
