Simon Hart MP is helping the junior pupils at Tremoilet VCP School in Pendine get involved in the Send My Friend to School campaign.
"In the year 2000, world leaders agreed to try to get all children into school by 2015," explained teacher Marina Howells.
"In the last year, the campaign has hit the wall. With only three years to go, there are still 67 million children out of school."
This year, linked to the Olympics, there is a 'Go for Gold' campaign to try to win this global education race and get all the remaining 67 million children into school by 2015.
In order to remind world leaders of their promise, the pupils at Tremoilet have drawn 'Go for Gold' medals with messages for the world leaders to reach for gold, to aim to win the race to get these children into school by 2015.
They've also used their persuasive letter writing skills to remind the world leaders of the promise they made in 2000 and to re-ignite this global education campaign/race.
Mr. Hart is pictured visiting the school to collect the medals, messages and letters from the pupils.
He said: "The messages and pictures are wonderfully vivid and heartfelt and I have sent them all to 10 Downing Street."
