Over a year in the making\, the Report will pre sent evidence on the implications of different types of migration and disp lacement for education but also the impact that reforming curricula\, peda gogy and teacher preparation can have on embracing diversity.\n\nThe 2019 GEM Report will make the case for investing in the education of children l eft behind by migrant parents or following them as seasonal migrants\; in countries with high rates of emigration and those seeing high rates of imm igration\; in short-term refugee emergencies and in protracted crises\, an alyzing challenges to effective humanitarian financing for education. It w ill also examine the risks and opportunities of skilled migration. Its con clusions and recommendations will advance the aims of SDG 4 and its call t o #LeaveNoOneBehind.\n\nUK Launch\n\nTwo migration and displacement issues will be the focus of the event. First\, the Report estimates that in 2017 over 84 million people were displaced\, either due to conflict\, persecut ion or natural disaster. Many of these are much younger than the correspon ding population of migrants. Education can provide them with a protective and stable environment\, building resilience for children whose lives have descended into chaos. However\, education for the displaced requires long -term planning and investment. While some countries have embraced this pri nciple of refugee inclusion despite their limited resources\; others have yet to do so\, partly because they need more support. Achieving this is a shared responsibility.\n\nSecond\, migration and displacement can challeng e policy makers to re-examine what and how education is being taught to bu ild inclusive societies and help people live together\, not just be tolera nt. Education that values diversity is important for all countries\, no ma tter their migration history or present circumstances. Education’s role and responsibility goes beyond building tolerant societies that passively accept but do not necessarily embrace differences to building inclusive so cieties that appreciate and respect differences and provide high-quality e ducation for all.\n\nCo-hosted by the UK’s Education and Development For um (UKFIET)\, BAICE and the GEM Report the event will convene speakers fro m across UK Government\, the donor community\, education and humanitarian experts\, teachers\, students and parents.\n\nFollowing a presentation of the key findings and recommendations from the 2019 GEM Report\, the first of two panels will focus on the need for safe\, quality and inclusive educ ation in displacement and draw attention to the role of the international community in supporting countries in strengthening education policies and planning to effectively respond to current and emerging humanitarian situa tions. A second panel discussion will focus on strategies to foster an inc lusive education system with a focus on diversity\, speakers will share ex amples of current initiatives from across the UK to promote better interac tion amongst families\, schools and local communities and support societie s to become more culturally aware\, cohesive and tolerant.\n\nAlongside th e event in London\, the Report will also be launched on the same day in Be rlin\, Bangkok and Nairobi. Over the course of the following three months it will be launched in a further 60 national events involving Ministers\, academics\, civil society\, and youth.\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\n13:45-14:00\nRe gistration and refreshments\n\n\n14:00-14:10\nIntroduction and welcome rem arks: Professor Freda Wolfenden\, Executive Committee Chair\, UKFIET\n\n\ n14:10-14:30\nMain findings of the 2019 Global Education Monitoring Report :  Sébastien Hine\, Global Education Monitoring Report\n\n\n14.30-15.15\ nPanel I: Education\, migration and displacement\n\nThe panel will discuss the practical challenges and solutions to including migrants and refugees in national education systems.\n\nModerator: Barbara Serra\, Presenter an d Correspondent\, Al Jazeera\n\nPanellists:\n\n Tejendra Pherali\, Univer sity College London\n Emma Gremley\, Senior Education Adviser\, UK Depart ment for International Development (DFID)\n Joseph Nhan-O'Reilly\, Head o f Education Policy &\; Advocacy Save the Children\n Fadi Halliso\, Gul makai Champion\,  Malala Fund\n\n\n\n\n15:30-16:15\nPanel II: Fostering diversity in the classroom\n\nThe panel will discuss the crucial role that education plays in helping migrants settle in new countries and environme nts.
