The Global Action Week for Education (GAWE) is a week-long campaign, coordinated by the Global Campaign for Education (GCE) and celebrated globally by education movements and advocates to remind governments and other decision-makers to deliver on the global commitments for education.
In 2024 GCE coalitions around the world have beaten the drums for Transformative Education asking governments to invest in public and transformative, inclusive and equitable quality education for all now!
Why? Because Education has a transformative role. Education goes beyond a narrow set of learning outcomes. It is a driver of social justice, peace, gender equality, sustainable development, and individual and collective freedom.
Despite progress, education remains in crisis, with significant challenges such as the global teacher shortage and conflicts and crises cutting thousands off access to education. The commitments made during the Transformative Education Summit 2022 and the newly published UN Recommendations to Transform the Teaching Profession require urgent implementation.
Throughout the week, we explored strategies to achieve transformative education for all everywhere. What stood out for us is how all over the world, education advocates face common challenges. It’s imperative that we stand together to address these challenges globally and on a fundamental level.
Our Calls for Action 2024:
- Invest in Public and Transformative Education now for all everywhere!
- Protect the Right to Education in conflict-affected areas!
- Deliver on the commitments made during the Transformative Education Summit 2022!
- Implement without delay the UN Recommendations to Transform the Teaching Profession!
- Place Transformative Education at the heart of the Summit of the Future 2024 to develop a better tomorrow!
