As world leaders prepare to gather for the 80th UN General Assembly, join UNICEF and Education.org for a high-level webinar to discuss how to get 272 million out-of-school children and youth into learning and set them up for success in school.
The session will feature:
- Opening remarks from Sierra Leone’s Chief Minister David Sengeh.
- A presentation from Education.org Founder and CEO, Dr. Randa Grob-Zakhary, unveiling the new STEP Framework, offering evidence-based strategies, from 68 countries, to help learners move from non-formal education programmes into school.
- A panel session moderated by Dr. Pia Britto, UNICEF Global Director of Education and Adolescent Development, featuring policy makers, implementers and other experts.
- An opportunity to ask questions to the panel.
Why attend:
- Understand the operating environment for policy makers, who are attempting to urgently deliver education to out-of-school children and youth amid increasing resources constraints.
- Discover actionable strategies developed from the largest evidence-base to date on accelerated learning including case studies and practical tools – for policy makers, implementers and funders – to improve transition rates from non-formal to formal education.
- Hear directly from policy makers, funders and programmes implementers to better understand: the challenges, promising innovations and the state of progress towards SDG 4: Quality Education for All.
