The world is witnessing an alarming increase in the number of people affected by armed conflict, forced displacement (including large-scale refugee displacement), environmental/climate-induced disasters, and other crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the Spotlight Session 1, Member States and partner co-convenors (ECW, GPE, UNESCO, UNHCR and UNICEF) will seize the momentum of the United Nations Secretary-General-convened Transforming Education Summit to galvanize collective commitments and launch a renewed partnership for concrete transformative actions in crisis situations.

The Transforming Education Summit is being convened in response to a global crisis in education – one of equity and inclusion, quality and relevance. Often slow and unseen, this crisis is having a devastating impact on the futures of children and youth worldwide. The Summit provides a unique opportunity to elevate education to the top of the global political agenda and to mobilize action, ambition, solidarity and solutions to recover pandemic-related learning losses and sow the seeds to transform education in a rapidly changing world.
