Excellencies,

Throughout my life, education has been my guide and touchstone.

And I have drawn great inspiration from my work as a teacher, many decades ago.

Every single person in this room knows education transforms lives, economies and societies.

But we also know we must transform education.

Because education is in a deep crisis.

70 percent of 10-year-olds in poor countries are unable to read a basic text.

Either they are out of school, or in school but barely learning.

The rich have access to the best resources, schools and universities, leading to the best jobs, while the poor face huge obstacles to getting the qualifications that could change their lives.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on learning worldwide, and dealt a hammer blow to progress on SDG4.

But the education crisis began long before.

Too often, curricula are outdated and narrow.

Education systems take little account of lifelong learning.

Teachers are under-trained, undervalued and underpaid.

And the digital divide penalizes poor students.

Now is the time to transform education systems.

So dear world leaders,

Your people, the world’s young people and future generations are calling on you to act with vision and purpose.

Quality education must support the development of the individual learner throughout his or her life.

It must provide the foundations for learning, /from reading, writing and mathematics to scientific, digital, social and emotional skills.

And it must help us learn to live and work together, and to understand ourselves and our responsibilities to each other and to our planet.

At a time of rampant misinformation, climate denial and attacks on human rights, we need education systems that distinguish fact from conspiracy, instill respect for science, and celebrate humanity in all its diversity.

Excellencies,

To move from this vision to reality, allow me to highlight four areas for your attention and commitment.

First, we must protect the right to quality education for everyone, especially girls. Everywhere.

Schools must be open to all, without discrimination.

We must recover the years of education lost around the world because of the pandemic.

Quality education for all means tackling the crisis in foundational learning and ensuring it is life-long.

From this platform, I appeal to the authorities in Afghanistan: Lift all restrictions on girls’ access to secondary education immediately.

Girls’ education is among the most important steps to deliver peace, security and sustainable development, everywhere.

Second, teachers are the lifeblood of education systems.

We need a new focus on their skillsets.

We need to tackle the global shortage of teachers, and look at increasing their quality, by ensuring they have decent working conditions and continuous training opportunities, and receive adequate salaries.

Third, schools must become safe, healthy place, with no place for violence, stigma or intimidation. 

Education systems should promote the physical and mental health of all students.

Excellencies,

Fourth, the digital revolution must benefit all learners.

I urge countries to improve connectivity for students and educational institutions.

But connectivity in itself doesn’t provide an education.

I encourage governments and teachers to work with private sector partners on high-quality digital education content for all.
