United for SDG4: the Global Education Coalition in action
This progress report of the Coalition builds on documents published in September 2020, March 2021, and March 2023 and covers activity between March 2023 and March 2024. Four years in and moving into its fifth, the Coalition works together to ensure all learners are empowered equally in and through education.
Working as an engine for multistakeholder cooperation in education, the GEC maintains multiple action areas that support SDG 4 while offering points of interaction for solidarity and cooperation with broader sectoral stakeholders and beyond. The GEC's action areas are not silos with the work of each open to and supporting the work of others when possible or necessary.
Partnership is the only way forward. This coalition is a call for coordinated and innovative action to unlock solutions that will not only support learners and teachers now, but through the recovery process, with a principal focus on inclusion and equity
Over the past year, the GEC has continued to develop and evolve as an engaged network of Members and a transformative accelerator for SDG 4. The Coalition is now able to act as a key engine for multistakeholder cooperation in education.
The missions have continued to achieve impressive results and are evolving into thriving global hubs at the service of teacher training, future-proof skills development and employability, learning sciences, and gender-transformative education.
Looking ahead, the GEC is poised to continue its role as a catalyst for positive change and transformative action in education. With its commitment to multistakeholder cooperation, evidence-based decision-making and global missions, the GEC stands as a testament to what can be achieved when diverse voices unite for a common goal. As the education sector embraces the future, the GEC remains a steadfast partner, guiding the way towards an inclusive, innovative, and sustainable education landscape for all.
