Global Partnership for Education’s Post

It's been three years since the world committed to #TransformingEducation for the most marginalized. The 2021 Global Education Summit was a pivotal moment to galvanize support to #FundEducation and make sure that every child - no matter their background - has access to a quality education. Today, it's ever more important to make sure investments in quality education remain a priority - in Africa and beyond - to unlock the enormous potential of youth.

Literacy = Opportunity Yet, at least 754 million young people and adults aged 15 and older lack basic literacy and numeracy skills - most of them women and girls. Let's make sure EVERYONE - women, girls, children with disabilities and those affected by crises and conflict - have the foundational skills to seize learning opportunities! #LiteracyDay

Improving foundational learning at scale requires a strong focus on equity and inclusion. But why? #FundEducation #LiteracyDay

A new language is often a high barrier for refugee children who join the education system of their host countries. Ahead of #LiteracyDay, explore how teachers and schools can promote multilingualism, strengthen refugee integration and improve learning for all children. #FundEducation

Teachers are defining for children's learning experiences beyond just "chalk and talk". A growing body of research shows that teachers as well as school leaders play a key role in creating inclusive learning environments. They can support the next generation to see beyond gender stereotypes and discriminatory norms, both in their classrooms and communities. Here is what needs to be done: http://g.pe/ruRz50TfSP3 #TeachersTransform #InvestInTeachers #FundEducation

If managed well, the green transition can create up to 25 million new jobs by 2030, the International Labour Organization estimates. The role of education is to prepare young people for this shift and empower them to take charge of the transition to net zero. A new report by UNICEF Innocenti highlights 7 ways for governments, development partners and the private sector can accelerate green school-to-work transitions: http://g.pe/886l50TeLW9 #FundEducation

What are the key actions to make an education system resilient? With conflict, crises and climate change threatening education, resilience to these disruptions is becoming more and more important. With support from #GPEKIX, a study by the Education Development Trust defines what resilience is and how countries can protect their education systems from emergencies: http://g.pe/1la950TeBY1 International Development Research Centre (IDRC) | #FundEducation

The impacts of climate change make green skills imperative. Equipping the next generation with green skills makes them more resilient and helps their communities. In Kenya, the class of 10-year-old Sibel took matters in their own hands and inspired their whole school to find practical solutions to climate change impacts.
