Quality early learning and early childhood development (ECD) opportunities are essential for all children, especially children living in conflict and crisis. Sesame Workshop leveraged its expertise in children's media, and combined it with International Rescue Committee experience in humanitarian relief, to deliver on MacArthur Foundation's and #LEGOFoundations ambitious investments and share valuable and rigorous research findings on education in emergencies. Our success is directly connected to the support of over 100 dedicated local partners - from media outlets to civil society organizations to national ministries - Ahlan Simsim is a model for future programs that will serve children affected by conflict and crisis around the world. https://lnkd.in/emqWXn6W How many did we reach through the initiative? I'll share some insights tomorrow... you can also check out our impact report above.

Day 3 of the Times Higher Education Global Sustainable Development Congress has just begun, and I am already so inspired by the first speaker I've heard today, Mandisa Mndela of Stand Your Truth in South Africa. https://lnkd.in/gXZT2X6C I was so moved by her organization's three pillars of Purpose, Vision, and Service and how well the SYT curriculum aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Mndela discussed how people have been "exchanging values for valuables" by chasing expensive paper (degrees from elite institutions) and sacrificing moral standards and human dignity. A key takeaway is that higher education is a space to prepare students for service. #GSDCongress #sdgs2030 #GlobalGoals #sdgs #globalservantleader

There is nothing more inspiring to have a cup of drink with messages from International Development Youth Forum, the very first international forum I joined but turned out fruitful for me for 2 years discovering international development. Learning about #Multidimensionalpovertyindex, such a global index about poverty-No.1 #SDGs is where I listened to the cases from the countries we used to discuss well at IDYF. Read IDYF Reports for years at: https://lnkd.in/gSxsQ8RV

48 years ago, the Youth of South Africa ignited a flame for better education. Their selfless sacrifice marks a significant turning point in our history. Today, many students still have unequal access to quality, affordable higher education, and the necessary critical skills for the 21st century and beyond. Through the Summit Private Equity Fund, our investments into tertiary education and training make a a meaningful and sustainable contribution to breaking down these barriers. NewBridge Graduate Institute (NGI) is one such investment, currently offering affordable, accredited quality tertiary education and training across 7 campuses, with another 2 campuses opening in 2025. NGI’s Class of 2023 has set some remarkable milestones with an incredible: - 78% success rate for Higher Certificates - 92% success rate for Diplomas - 90% pass rate for Degrees Youth Day is about honouring past sacrifices. For us, it is also an acknowledgement of the power of education to shape a brighter and more equal future. #YouthDay #YouthMonth #EmpowerThroughEducation #NGI #HigherLearningSuccess

Excited to have participated in today's Side Event on the Sidelines of the AfDB 2024 Annual Meetings, themed "Policy Dialogue on Innovative Financing for Tertiary Education in Africa: Revitalizing the Role of the Private Sector." The discussions were insightful and highlighted the critical need for innovative financing solutions to enhance the quality and accessibility of tertiary education across the continent. A key takeaway was the potential of collaborations e.g through Dual TVET in bridging the skills gap and fostering industry-relevant competencies among our youth. By actively involving the private sector, we can create sustainable educational models that equip students with the skills needed to thrive in today's dynamic job market.

🚨 Urgent Call to Action: African Leaders Unite for #FoundationalLearning! 🌍📚 A powerful coalition of African leaders has issued a groundbreaking communique, calling for immediate action on foundational learning across the continent. This historic declaration calls for 1️⃣ Acknowledgement that the delivery of Agenda 2063 and its social, economic, and developmental objectives is deeply connected with learning outcomes and that the vision will not be achieved if the learning crisis is not addressed. 2️⃣ Collectively commit to all children reading with comprehension and doing basic mathematics by the age of ten by 2030 as the foundation for future academic success and beyond. 3️⃣ Take action to urgently implement cost-effective evidence-based solutions that can accelerate learning outcomes and be delivered within existing budget resources, supporting internal efficiencies in the face of debt servicing and other fiscal pressures. Join us in amplifying this crucial message. The future of Africa's young people, and indeed the continent itself, hangs in the balance.
