The Global Education Coalition (GEC) is a dynamic global platform for multistakeholder cooperation to drive education transformation to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4.

Since it was established in March 2020, when Coalition mobilized support at all levels to mitigate the disruptions to education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, members have continued to collaborate to support the continuation of learning in emergencies and accelerate the transformation of education.

The Coalition has grown into a significant network with more than 220 institutional partners from the UN family, civil society, academia, and the private sector, all united by a common goal to advance inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning

Active in 112 countries, the Coalition’s work underscores four ambitious action-oriented, target-driven missions to transform education. Through these missions and partner mobilization, the Coalition has:

• helped over 858,898 youth develop employability skills
•  trained 794,580 teachers
• offered learning resources to more than 1,000,000 learners studying foundational subjects, such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
• reached 2,459,192 of the most marginalized girls and women
