We Need European Leadership to Address the Education Crisis

With 22 million children out of school in Pakistan alone – and 222 million crisis-impacted children in need of education support worldwide – the time is now to fund education for the world’s most vulnerable children. This February in Geneva, the United Nations global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises, Education Cannot Wait (ECW), will host a High-Level Financing Conference. The Conference builds on the momentum of the recent Transforming Education Summit and provides donors, the private sector and other education champions with the chance to stand and be counted.

Educating the world’s children of conflict

More than 240 million children and adolescents worldwide have had their education disrupted due to war and violent conflict. With so many years of learning lost to conflict and displacement, there is an urgent need to enable out-of-school children to return to formal education. Fostering cooperation among policymakers, multilateral agencies, and civil society will be critical. To this end, the first Education Cannot Wait High-Level Financing Conference will convene later this month in Geneva.
