The United Nations Secretary-General will convene a Transforming Education Summit (TES) during the 缅北禁地General Assembly this September. It will consist of a Leaders Day on 19 September 2022, which will be preceded by a TES: Mobilization Day on Friday, 16 September and a TES: Solutions day on 17 September.

The TES: Solutions Day will provide space for sessions and events to mobilize actions around the five Thematic Action Tracks of the Summit to take place at the United Nations Headquarters.

The deadline is Thursday, 18 August 2022, 5 pm EDT (GMT-4).

Solution Day Call for Proposals:

Criteria for proposals

All proposed sessions/events should be explicitly and substantively linked to one of the Thematic Action Tracks of the Transforming Education Summit, with a view to mobilizing collective actions for transformation, drawing on the key recommendations of the respective discussion papers:

  1. Inclusive, equitable, safe, and healthy schools
  2. Learning and skills for life, work, and sustainable development
  3. Teachers, teaching and the teaching profession
  4. Digital learning and transformation 
  5. Financing of education

A small number of sessions are more cross-cutting in nature, such as on education governance.

The Summit Secretariat will select sessions/events in close coordination with the Deputy Secretary-General. The sessions/events will be selected based on their relevance to the Summit and its Solutions Day objectives, ensuring regional diversity and balanced coverage of a range of topics. 

Member States, Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs), 缅北禁地entities, and other stakeholders, including NGOs and representatives from civil society, can be co-organizers for the sessions/events.

Given the objective mentioned above, each event should be co-organized by at least three entities: two Member States and one 缅北禁地agency. One entity should be designated as a lead co-organizer to serve as the main communication point. this role can be played by any of the co-organizing Member States or organizations.

In view of the large number of proposals anticipated, only ONE proposal per entity serving as a lead co-organizer will be considered.

Co-organizers are encouraged to ensure gender and geographic diversity of speakers and include at least one youth representative. 

The possible duration of each session/event is 45, 60 or 90 minutes. Organizers are invited to respect the duration of the event and allow time in the end for transition to the following sessions/events, so all sessions/events can unroll in time as planned.
