The modern world is in a constant process of flux and evolution, shaped and reshaped by technology, globalisation, climate change, and multiple crises. In this context, the right to education is also at an inflection point.
On 14 December 2023, a Formal Dialogue on the Initiative on the evolving right to education brought together state representatives, members of global civil society, UN representatives, youth, practitioners, and experts.
Today the world celebrates the International Day of Education, and at the Right to Education Initiative we are proud to publish this specially commissioned image made by artist Andy Lemar Orand.
24 January 2024 - Right to Education Initiative joins more than 100 civil society organisations and global and community leaders from around the world to defend public education, in a statement which provides a resounding defence of the role and strengths of public education systems.
The multiple, interlocking crises which grip the world look set to continue in 2024. When crises hit, education often suffers - through underfunding, dwindling political attention, and increased pressures on populations causing school abandonment.
We know that when education suffers, so too does the future.
