Ireland and GPE
Ireland is a longstanding partner of GPE, having joined the partnership in 2006. Ireland's partnership with GPE is its most significant global education collaboration.
In 2026, Ireland pledged €40 million to GPE over five years.
This investment is guided by 'A Better World', Ireland's international development policy, which prioritizes increased support for education.
At a time when progress towards universal education remains under pressure, Ireland is pleased to continue its partnership with the Global Partnership for Education. Our pledge reflects Ireland's enduring commitment to global education and our determination to ensure that every child, regardless of circumstance, has the opportunity to learn, thrive, and realize their potential.
