Our Partners Make Long-Term Commitments to Help Children Learn and Grow

Some things we do better together than alone. Education is one of those things.

The Global Partnership for Education (GPE) works together with a diverse group of governments, civil society/non-governmental organizations, international organizations, teachers and the private sector to help every child get a good quality education. It’s been a decade since we began the partnership, and we’ve helped contribute to some remarkable successes for children across the world. Yet it is more clear than ever that education takes a long-term commitment from all partners to achieve success because, as our GPE Secretariat colleague, Luis Crouch says, “there is no vaccine for geometry.”

It takes a long time build the critical infrastructure to ensure that children can read, write, add & subtract, think creatively and independently, find a job, and become a global citizen. Take a look at the Global Poverty Project’s video which highlights the challenges which require global partnerships to work together with people on the ground.

We were proud to be a part of the wonderful Global Citizen concert where this premiered, and where GPE pledged $500 million for education in areas affected by conflict and humanitarian emergencies. After you’ve looked at the video, tell us why you think partnerships are important, and get involved in our work to help children learn and grow.
