For nine-year-old Grace in Buea, Cameroon, going to school for the first time is opening up new possibilities. With the support of teachers and a safe, welcoming environment, she is taking her first steps towards a future she can shape for herself.

Her story is a reminder of why sustained investment in education in emergencies matters: every child affected by crisis deserves the opportunity to learn, thrive and pursue their aspirations.

The @EduCannotWait High-Level Replenishment Conference reaffirmed this commitment, with US$541.6 million pledged towards its 2027–2030 replenishment target.

Through its work with partners, UNESCO helps children access education during crises  while strengthening the systems  and capacities needed to sustain learning through emergencies and beyond.

The commitments announced at the @EduCannotWait High-Level Replenishment Conference mark an important step towards ensuring that children and young people affected by conflict, displacement and climate-related disasters can continue to access quality education.

With US$541.6 million pledged – 90% of its replenishment target – the conference underscored the importance of sustained, predictable financing to protect learning and support education through emergencies and protracted crises.

These commitments align with the priorities of the SDG 4 High-Level Steering Committee, which has placed resilient education systems at the center of its work for 2026–2027.  Stronger, more resilient systems are essential to accelerating progress towards SDG 4 and ensuring learning continuity in the face of crises.

Sustainable education financing is key to this effort. Global commitments, innovative financing and partnerships can help ensure predictable and equitable resources for education, strengthen national systems, and deliver quality education for every learner, including in crisis-affected contexts.

Investing in education through crises is not only about meeting immediate needs. It is about protecting learning today while building stronger education systems.

Every learner deserves to feel safe and well, at school and online.

On the International Day against Violence and Bullying at School, including Cyberbullying, this year’s theme is clear: Every learner safe and well: from promise to practice.

As we organize global consultations on the future of education beyond 2030, safety and well-being have emerged as a clear priority:

🌍 A priority for youth: 190,000 young people and students from 194 countries ranked it among their top priorities for the future of education in the global youth consultation.

🔭 A key finding from experts: 4,000 experts from 113 countries and 731 institutions from 98 countries identified it as both a risk and a challenge, in the foresight exercise on the megatrends shaping education.

The message is the same from both: no one can learn without feeling safe. Now is the time to turn that promise into practice, in every classroom and on every screen.

Globally, 140 million boys and 133 million girls are still out of school.📚

Behind these figures are children and young people missing out on the chance to learn, grow and shape their own futures. Poverty, conflict, disability, gender and where they live all play a role in keeping them out of the classroom.

Every boy’s, every girl’s and every child’s education is a human right.

Leaving no one behind means reaching every learner, especially those furthest behind, and making sure that all children have the opportunity not only to attend school but also to learn and thrive there.

Every learner deserves to thrive, but who those learners are is changing.

Migration, demographic shifts and growing inequalities are reshaping classrooms around the world. What will it take to put equity and well-being at the heart of education after 2030?

UNESCO and the SDG 4 High-Level Steering Committee invite you to join a consultation exploring exactly that. Through interactive and collaborative exercises, you will have the opportunity to share your perspective and help shape the next global agenda for education beyond 2030.

258 million school-aged children and adolescents have their education affected by crises. Of these, 93 million are out of school.

Behind these figures are children determined to learn, teachers committed to teaching and communities working to keep education within reach.

UNESCO and the SDG 4 High-Level Steering Committee have made strengthening #resilient education systems a priority, underscoring the vital role of #financing in ensuring that learning continues, even in times of crisis.

Hosted by the government of Switzerland on 5 November in Geneva, Education Cannot Wait (ECW)’s High-Level Replenishment Conference will bring together donors and partners to support this determination with concrete commitments.

🌍 As the world prepares for the 2026–2027 #ElNiño phenomenon, UNESCO is calling for stronger, more resilient education systems that can withstand climate-related disruptions and keep learning on track.

Over 347 million children in nearly 100 countries are expected to be exposed to one of the strongest El Niño events on record. Floods, droughts and heatwaves can damage schools, disrupt classes and put children’s safety and access to learning at risk.

UNESCO is supporting countries to prepare. As part of the UNESCO x El Niño global campaign, UNESCO is providing technical assistance to help countries anticipate climate-related risks, strengthen preparedness and safeguard educational continuity before, during and after potential disruptions.

Innovation is also helping translate preparedness into action. In Latin America and the Caribbean, UNESCO is now piloting an AI-enabled multi-risk index to generate tailored reports for education institutions.

Preparedness today helps protect learning tomorrow.
