It was a pleasure to meet @UNESCO_DG and @UNESCO colleagues and member states to build stronger education foundations and better serve children in crisis through @EduCannotWait

[Khaled El-Enany @UNESCO_DG]

A very productive meeting with the Director of @EduCannotWait, @MaysaJalbout — one of @UNESCO’s key partners in keeping education at the heart of emergency response and recovery.

UNESCO and Education Cannot Wait have built a strong partnership to keep learning going in crisis-affected contexts: supporting teachers, expanding access to quality learning for refugees, displaced learners and host communities, strengthening local capacities, and improving the data systems needed for effective response and recovery.

Together, we will continue to advocate for education in emergencies and ambitious pledges for ECW's replenishment, as an investment in protection, resilience, social cohesion and sustainable peace.

Education is a right, a lifeline for children.

But for 258 million school-aged children around the world, crises are disrupting this right. In fact, 93 million children are entirely out of school.

New evidence from @EduCannotWait shows that the global education crisis is growing faster than ever.

Following the devastating earthquakes in #Venezuela🇻🇪, thousands of children have seen their education disrupted as schools have been damaged or declared unsafe.

@EduCannotWait Director @MaysaJalbout launches a US$3M First Emergency Response expected to reach approximately 40K crisis-affected children and shares a message of solidarity with the people of Venezuela.

Education is more than learning. It is protection, stability and hope – and it cannot wait until the crisis is over.
