The GLP is funded by the UK government GLP © Crown Copyright The curtain raiser! Development Education Consortium designed and ran Shape the Future competition for all UK secondary schools from January to March 2013. The competition, held last year to coincide with the beginning of the GLP, gave KS3 pupils the opportunity to come up with their own ideas about what should appear in the post-2015 UN Development Goals. 5 schools presented their proposals to the Secretary of State on 1 May 2013 at the House of Commons Winning school: Caroline Chisholm School, Northants
