Multiply Possibility High Level Event: A New Era for Education Financing.



At the culmination of Multiply Possibility GPE financing campaign, the Permanent Missions of Italy and Nigeria to the United Nations, along with GPE, will co-host a high-level event at UNGA81 bringing together global leaders and partners to mark a new era of bold commitments towards sustainable education financing.

Objectives:
  • Showcase strong political will to finance education from countries and partners around the world.
  • Spotlight commitments from donors, private sector, philanthropies, MDBs and other
  • financing partners to GPE.
  • Highlight partner countries' domestic financing commitments to education.
  • Advance commitments to education already made through the G7, the African Union, the UN's Pact for the Future, and the Compromiso de Sevilla.
  • Convene stakeholders across the partnership and highlight their commitments to keep education at the top of the global agenda and to deliver quality education for all children.

Education multiplies possibilities. From improving health and earning potential to driving economic growth and stability, investing in education yields enormous returns. Yet today, 270 million children remain out of school globally, and in lower-income countries, 70 percent of school children cannot read a simple text by age ten. As the largest generation of children and youth come of age in a world being rapidly reshaped by technological change, delivering quality education for all has never been more urgent.

Meeting this moment and accelerating progress towards the SDGs requires a global effort to finance and deliver quality education so that no child is left behind. This is why Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Nigeria are leading an ambitious financing campaign for the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), the world's leading multilateral fund dedicated exclusively to education. A fully funded GPE would improve education quality for 750 million children and young people in more than 90 low- and lower-middle-income countries.

Opening remarks by H.E. Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United
Nations.
