Global leaders in the fields of education and health met at the Asia Society on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly sessions to discuss how creating a global ecosystem for education could help achieve the sustainable development goal on quality and inclusive education for SDG4.
The event, "What Global Education Can Learn from Public Health: Strengthening a Global Ecosystem to Achieve Quality Education for All," brought to light what education advocates and practitioners can learn from the successes and challenges of their health sector colleagues. Alice Albright, CEO of GPE, said that education leaders need to make the strongest possible case internationally about why they need more international resources, including the role education plays in foreign policy.
