Thematic Action Track 1: Inclusive, equitable, safe and healthy schools
Education is in crisis. Poverty, exclusion and gender inequality continue to stop millions from learning. Added to this, COVID-19 exposed the inequities in education access and quality. Moreover, violence, armed conflict, disasters and reversal of women’s rights have increased.
Inclusive, transformative education is to ensure that all learners have full access and take part in education. That learners are safe and healthy, free from violence and discrimination.
