We’re excited to be part of the #MakeItCount campaign, which launches today to turn foundational learning commitments into measurable action.

Predictable funding helps children continue learning when crises strike.
From our emergency response in #Nepal to this week’s replenishment conference in Geneva, our goal is clear: safe, quality education for crisis-affected girls and boys.
#HopeStartsHere
This week, leaders will gather in Geneva for the replenishment of @EduCannotWait, aiming to mobilise $600m USD to reach $10m crisis-affected children with safe, quality education.
In Nepal, ECW’s emergency $1m USD response will reach 17,000 children affected by recent floods.

Across Africa, education financing is being made challenging due to rising youth populations, debt, climate shocks and other constraints.
MPs, government officials and experts explored solutions at the 5th Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange Symposium in Kenya last week.
The 2026 Foundational Learning Action Tracker has been launched by @UNICEF and the Hempel Foundation, showing improvements in foundational learning across 52 African countries.
But, the report shows more needs to be done to turn assessment data into better teaching and learning.
📢NEW MEMBER
We are delighted to announce that Dr @arjunkarki, Member of the House of Representatives of Nepal, has joined the International Parliamentary Network for Education.
Thank you for your #PoliticalLeadershipForEducation and welcome to the Network!
Existing international law guarantees free and compulsory primary education, but the Convention on the Rights of the Child says nothing explicitly about early childhood or secondary education.
MPs can ensure international law enshrines the right to free education at every age.
🎉Congratulations to @MiltonDickMP for being elected as the 32nd President of the @IPUparliament!
We look forward to continued engagement with the IPU and its member parliaments to drive progress on education, and ensure that #EveryChildLearns.
I am deeply appreciative of global support which has recognised Australia’s Parliament as a world leader when it comes to parliamentary diplomacy - this was a team Australia moment.
🌾The theme of this year’s #WorldFoodDay is ‘Innovate today. Nourish Tomorrow’.
For the 466 million children who eat a school meal every day, innovation can help create legislation to ensure school food is nutritious and safe for all.
