Climate change and natural disasters are among the most significant threats to education. The UK is working with @RESCUEorg to put in place innovative financing ahead of shocks to support and protect children before, during, and after crises #UNGA80

Education multiplies progress across all development goals, including:
🕊️ peace and stability
📈 economic growth
⚙️ jobs and skills
⚖️ equality
🫀 health
#MultiplyPossibility #FundEducation
We are committed to working in partnership to help countries strengthen their own education systems. The $97bn global financing gap for education means we need to unlock innovative finance and maximise impact. We are leveraging £7 for every £1 we put in to @IFF_Education #UNGA80
At #UNGA80 @JennyChapman is meeting with global education partners and holding discussions on multilateral architecture reform to ensure the system is delivering the best outcomes for our partners and for children all over the world 🌍

Engaging young people leads to more effective solutions. This week we celebrate the achievements of the FCDO’s inaugural Youth Education Council, a group of young people who have helped to shape @FCDOEducation international education policy for the past 18 months.
Education is a right, not a privilege. On the International Day to Protect Education from Attack, the UK reaffirms its commitment to ensuring schools are safe havens for learning, not targets of conflict. #EducationUnderAttack #ProtectEducation

The FCDO is providing live saving humanitarian aid, education & healthcare for children affected by conflict across the world. Last week, I had an important meeting with @savechildrenuk & @WarChildUK to discuss the devastating impact of conflict on 473 million children globally.
Last week we released the third annual report on the G7- endorsed Global Objectives, focused on education in emergencies and protracted crises.
Crises are growing in frequency and present unique challenges for girls’ access and learning.

The UK is proud to co-sponsor the launch of a new report from the Geneva Global Hub for Education in Emergencies: eiehub.org/events/launch-of-…
The report shows how we can better prepare for crises and maximise the impact of global funding. #EiE #Education #ActingAhead

The 🇬🇧 is pleased to join @IDA_CRPD_Forum and @UNICEF in launching a new Leadership Council for disability inclusive education at #COSP. We remain steadfast in our leadership and collective action to ensure children with disabilities are not left behind.
People with disabilities are disproportionately affected by conflict, and the climate and nature crisis.
That's why Minister for Equalities @SeemaMalhotra1 reaffirmed the UK's commitment to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities at the @UN #COSP18.
