On 1 July 2026, Hiแป‡p Hแป™i Vรฌ Giรกo Dแปฅc Cho Mแปi Ngฦฐแปi Viแป‡t Nam - VAEFA's Youth Representative in the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) Youth Leaders, Trแบงn Minh Tฦฐแปng, presented the Opening Reflection in the โ€œ๐—š๐—ฃ๐—˜ ๐—›๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต-๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—น ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป- ๐—™๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†: ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฉ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜ N๐—ฎ๐—บโ€™๐˜€ ๐—›๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น,โ€ held in Hanoi, Vietnam. Representatives from government, embassies, development partners, philanthropy, the private sector, academia, civil society, and young people gathered to exchange ideas on how to better equip every learner with the skills to thrive in a changing world.

Drawing on his experience as a deaf advocate for disability-inclusive education, Tฦฐแปng shared youth's calls to action, identifying what efforts are needed to "create a more equitable education system that benefits not only Deaf learners, but all learners with disabilities," enabling them to "participate more fully in education, pursue their aspirations, and contribute their talents and skills to society."

ASPBAEโ€™s Nguyen Thi Kim Anh, Regional Coordinator of the Training for Transformation Programme, was also among the panelists in the session on "๐—˜๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป: ๐—ฆ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—น๐—น๐˜€, ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐˜€ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฉ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—ก๐—ฎ๐—บ'๐˜€ ๐—™๐˜‚๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ." She offered the civil society insights in this event, where she highlighted that successful transformation relies on all partners sharing a good, common understanding of the context from the national to the local level through robust analysis of the education system across different levels from Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), basic education to adult learning and education (ALE).

This way, partners can effectively complement each other and optimize the available resources. She also noted that fostering new skills, innovation, digitalization, and systemic transformation requires substantial investment. Development partners can play a crucial role here by mobilising not just additional financial resources, but also technical expertise, best practices from other countries, as well as valuable lessons learnedโ€”including insights into what doesn't work.

ASPBAE was also joined by its member, the Vietnam Association for Education for All (VAEFA), in this event.

The High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) will soon be convened from Tuesday, 7 July, to Wednesday, 15 July 2026, under the auspices of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). The theme for the 2026 HLPF is โ€œTransformative, equitable, innovative and coordinated actions for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals for a sustainable future for all.โ€

The Goals to undergo in-depth review are Goals 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

ASPBAE contributed to the Sectoral Paper for the HLPF 2026 of the Major Groups and Other Stakeholdersโ€™ (MGoS) Education and Academia Stakeholder Group (EASG), which presents key recommendations and policy perspectives on the role of education in advancing sustainable development. Inputs were drawn from the ASPBAE Civil Society Spotlight Reports on SDG 4 developed with national education coalition members and youth representatives. The publication will contribute to EASGโ€™s advocacy and engagement throughout the High-Level Political Forum 2026 and ongoing discussions on the future of education and the post-2030 agenda.

We kicked off our 2026 Virtual Learning Collaboratives with two timely and important conversations:

๐Ÿ”ต Education Financing "From Commitments to Action: Advancing Equitable and Sustainable Financing for Education" - which called for bold investments in education and urgent action to address funding gaps and inequalities.

๐Ÿ”ต Pride Conversations on Gender-Just and Inclusive Education - which explored how CSOs can advocate for safer, more inclusive, and equitable learning spaces for all.

ASPBAE would like to thank everyone who joined, shared, and contributed to these discussions from across the region.

We're just getting started! Stay tuned for more learning sessions and opportunities to connect, learn, and advocate together.

Held on 26 May 2026, this interactive online session gathered youth from across the GCE network and the Kuyenda Collective to โ€œexplore how young people are using social accountability to strengthen education systems in practice.โ€ It brought to the fore stories of community-level education monitoring, youth-led evidence generation, advocacy on education financing and equity, policy engagement, and efforts to strengthen accountability in education systems.

Laraib shared examples of PCEโ€™s deliberate efforts to amplify youth voices and meaningfully engage them in social accountability processes, such as structured community conversations through the Harvesting Hope Dialogues, Townhalls where youth meet decision-makers to shift the power, and supporting youth stories, perspectives, and demands through the ASPBAE Civil Society Spotlight Reports on .

ASPBAEโ€™s Advocacy and Youth Engagement Officer, Lae Santiago, briefly presented the youth perspectives in the Spotlight Reports on SDG 4, which provide more nuanced evidence that uncovers youthโ€™s realities grounded in their lived experiences and put a spotlight on the role and value addition of civil society and young people in advancing the right to education.

We must continue to harness youth voices to turn commitments into actions!
