On Monday, the global education community is expected to converge in New York to participate in the transforming education summit convened by the UN Secretary-General. The summit has been organised alongside the 77th UN General Assembly and seeks to mobilise political ambition, action, solutions and solidarity to transform education: to take stock of efforts to recover pandemic-related learning losses, to reimagine education systems for the world of today and tomorrow and to revitalise national and global efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goal number four.
