Right now, 260 million children are not in school, and many more are in the classroom but not receiving a quality education. Let down by poorly trained teacher, outdated curriculums and lack of digital connectivity, they risk not reaching their full learning potential.
Next week, world leaders will debate solutions to this crisis at the historic Transforming Education Summit in New York during the United Nations General Assembly.
To mark the summit, Theirworld Chair Sarah Brown spoke with Jayathma Wickramanayake, United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth, and two Theirworld Global Youth Ambassadors, Mathilde Boulogne and Yuv Sungkur, who will be attending the event.
