Background

The Global Education Coalition (GEC) stands as a dynamic global platform for multistakeholder cooperation to drive education transformation to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4). From our four flagship missions in education, to successfully launching the Digital Transformation Collaborative (DTC) and forging new paths of professional development for teachers in Ukraine, we have much to celebrate from our four years working to transform education together. In the face of rising global education challenges, responsive and coordinated multistakeholder cooperation is at the heart of UNESCO's efforts for forging a new social contract that drives the futures of education. 

The Coalition has grown into a significant network of over 200 institutional partners, representing a diverse spectrum of organisations, all united by a common goal to advance inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning. There are only six years left to achieve SDG 4 and the substantial work that remains demands coordinated, collaborative, cross-sectoral approaches among partners with a range of expertise. 

The GEM Report at the GEC

On 25 March 2024, the Coalition is celebrating its fourth anniversary. The GEM Report will participate two different activities organized by UNESCO to commemorate this day:

  1. Plenary- Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education: perspectives and collaborative possibilities. The GEM Report director has been invited to give opening remarks during the plenary session. His intervention will focus on SDG 4 progress, based on findings from the SDG 4 Scorecard exploring the role that technology could play in this acceleration, if scalable, sustainable, equitable and appropriate.
  2. Closed meeting of the Digital Transformation Collaborative (DTC): The GEM Report researcher Yuki Murakami will join a session organized by DTC which will take stock of the state of financing for education for digital transformation

The meeting is open for members of the Coalition and is in person only.
