Background
Two crises in education – one of equity and one of relevance – compounded by a lack of adequate financing are having dramatic consequences for learners worldwide. Against this backdrop, the Transforming Education Summit (TES) was convened in 2022. This Transforming Education initiative serves as a follow-up to the TES, strengthening momentum from the commitments and calls to action launched there and demonstrating that such a transformation is feasible at scale.
