International Literacy Day: Covid-19’s impact on equality in education

Over 190 organisations from 55 countries addressed a Call to Action on Domestic Financing of Education post-Covid launched yesterday on the occasion of the UN International Literacy Day.

As we respond to this Covid crisis let us keep in mind too the existential challenges presented by the climate crisis. We need public education to help forge a new generation of active global citizens that care about sustainable development. We commit to work together to build public education systems that are sustainably financed and that contribute to building economies and societies that can truly care for both people and the planet.
