As we near the final years of the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, UNESCO and the SDG 4 High-Level Steering Committee are launching a global consultation to shape the education agenda beyond 2030.

Youth will lead the way, just as they did for the Transforming Education Summit. Through UNESCO’s youth-led consultations, they will define the Post-2030 Youth Agenda for Education.

Because the future must be shaped with youth—and led by youth.

Did you know that youth under 30 constitute more than half of the global population? While they are the driving force for innovation and social change, they remain disproportionately affected by poverty and limited access to quality education.

It’s time for a shift: Education should be shaped with youth, not just for them.

Today, UNESCO celebrates young people as active agents of change. From sitting at the table with global leaders in the SDG 4 Steering Committee to grassroots initiatives in crisis-affected areas, youth are proving that their leadership is vital for a more equitable and inclusive future.

Today’s World Teachers’ Day!

Teachers are the beating heart of education — and when they learn and work together, their impact is even greater. This year’s theme “Recasting teaching as a collaborative profession” is a call for strengthened collaboration as the backbone of the profession.

Across every stage of a teacher’s career — from preparation to lifelong learning — collaboration is key. Through co-teaching, joint reflection and partnerships, collaboration enables teachers to learn from one another and co-create solutions to improve learning. It strengthens teaching quality, boosts retention and helps shape classrooms where students can thrive — laying the foundation for equitable and resilient education systems worldwide.

Yet, gaps remain: 89% of primary teachers worldwide are qualified, but only 82% are trained. And while 73% of high-income countries require continuous professional development, only 14% of low-income ones do — leaving too many teachers without the support they need.

UNESCO is working to close these gaps for collaboration to become a norm. Because when teachers come together, education becomes stronger: https://shorturl.at/KSDkP
