As the UK coalition for global education, we are proud to support Education Cannot Wait's campaign.

When crisis strikes, children don’t give up on learning. Neither should we.

Join the campaign — a global call to keep children learning through the world’s toughest crises.

Together, we can mobilise the political will and resources needed to reach millions of children affected by conflict, displacement and disaster.

With Andy Burnham now in No.10, Send My Friend to School is calling on the new Prime Minister to make education a defining part of Britain’s international agenda.

For 25 years, our coalition of NGOs, education unions and thousands of young people, has called on UK governments to protect and strengthen support for global education. The public agrees: most Brits back UK aid spending that helps children everywhere access quality education.

As the new government takes shape, here’s what we’re asking:
1️⃣ Listen to young people and renew support for global citizenship education
2️⃣ Maintain the UK’s £430 million pledge to the Global Partnership for Education
3️⃣ Put education at the heart of UK development and restore UK leadership abroad
4️⃣ Back reforms to help countries grow their own domestic education budgets

Our campaign champions visited the FCDO to deliver their letter to the Foriegn Secretary, Yvette Cooper, but also learn more about the UK’s work on global and girls’ education.

They asked important questions about supporting education in contexts like Afghanistan before handing over their letter to the Foreign Secretary, calling for stronger action on global education.

“How can the UK do more to support global education?”

At our Parliamentary Action Day, campaign champions met with members of the International Development Committee to discuss some of the biggest challenges facing children around the world.

Young people asked thoughtful questions about aid for education, girls’ right to learn, and how debt impacts countries’ ability to invest in Education and public services. They shared their concerns about children being denied an education and challenged decision-makers on what more the UK can do to support them.

The MPs also spoke about their recent work, the importance of global citizenship education, and why they chose to serve on the International Development Committee.

It was inspiring to see young people leading these conversations and speaking up for every child’s right to education. 🌍📚

Parliamentary Action Day- 2026 brought together powerful voices from across the country.

Our first grid post celebrates the MP drop-in session, where more than 10 MPs joined us to listen, learn, and engage directly with our Campaign Champions.

Younh people from different schools shared their inspiring campaigning journeys showcasing the creative and determined ways they’ve taken action for global education. From assemblies and awareness-raising to local advocacy and community events, they showed exactly what youth leadership looks like in practice.

It was a reminder of the impact young people are already making, and the importance of keeping global education at the heart of political decision-making.

Thank you to all the MPs who dropped in and to every Campaign Champion who brought their passion, ideas, and action to Westminster.

Today, more than 800 pupils from 14 primary schools across Warwick and Leamington came together at St Margaret’s CE Junior School to celebrate the Day of the African Child and our partnerships with schools in Bo, Sierra Leone.

The day was filled with singing, dancing, drumming, storytelling, art and sport, celebrating global citizenship and the power of international friendship.

The Mayor of Warwick, Councillor, representative from Matt Western MP’s office, activity leaders, and representative from Send My Friend to School were gathered at the end of the day to deliver their speeches and insights with the pupils.

As part of the day, pupils showcased their work for the Send My Friend to School campaign, highlighting every child’s right to education and the need for greater investment in education globally. Around 10 schools presented letters that they had written using Send My Friends' Resources to their MPs, calling on the UK Government to invest in education and reverse cuts to Official Development Assistance (ODA).

Pupils from St Margaret’s CE Junior School delivered a powerful speech in solidarity with the millions of children around the world who are currently out of school, urging the UK Government to take action and reverse its decision to cut aid spending that supports education.

Member of Send My Friend to School also addressed the audience, sharing our message that:

“At Send My Friend to School, we believe that every child, wherever they live, regardless of their background, gender, and geographical Location, deserves the chance to go to school, learn, and follow their dreams.”
