UNESCO Global Education Coalition

UNESCO´s Global Education Coalition is responding to education challenges and crises, mobilising the resources, expertise, and experience of its 208 members. During the 3rd annual meeting, our Managing Director Beth Havinga was part of a panel of Coalition Members to discuss the past, present, and future of the coalition to highlight the importance of agile cooperation across sectors for social impact, crisis response, and digital transformation for the global common good.

The Coalition continues implementing and scale-up its four ambitious missions related to skills, teachers, catch-up learning, and gender. The Coalition members also continue working together to collect data, advocate and share knowledge regarding education challenges and responses.

The meeting has the following objectives:

• Inspire innovation and collaboration between Member States and GEC partners

• Solidify the positioning of GEC as a key actor to transform education and respond to crises

• Publicly launch the Digital Transformation Collaborative, a sub-group of GEC members dedicated to designing tailor-made solutions for Member States seeking system-wide scalable and sustainable digital transformation

• Share progress and plans for scale-up of its key missions (Global Skills Academy, Global Teachers Campus, Global Learning House, Gender Flagship)

• Share progress towards the commitments of the Transforming Education Summit, and plans for accelerating efforts towards SDG4 and Agenda 2030.
