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 🌍
