For GPE, education system transformation is more than just a catchphrase. It’s an approach that systematically engages partners in ensuring that every child has access to a quality education, no matter their gender, location or socioeconomic condition.

From improving access or learning to making education more inclusive, countries’ journeys to achieving large-scale and sustainable changes that benefit every child are unique.

As a partnership, we are learning together from our varied experiences what education system transformation means in different contexts and what it takes.
