The Global Education Summit kicks off tomorrow at 09:00 ET / 14:00 London BST with an exciting program of thematic sessions, featuring a wide variety of engaging speakers. The four concurrent sessions are:

• Education’s reset - Learning from COVID
• Gender equality in and through education
• Ripple effect – Education’s impact on sustainability
• Financing for impact – Volume, equity, efficiency

In the Education’s reset session, you’ll learn about how the education crisis stemming from COVID-19 is an opportunity to re-imagine education systems, how to transform children’s learning journey, generate better use of technology, and ways to collaborate to better protect and strengthen education in the face of crises.

In the Gender equality session, speakers will talk about stereotypes that impede both boys and girls from achieving equality and how to challenge them, about hardwiring gender in all aspects of education planning, and ways to make education a reality for girls with disabilities.

In the Ripple effect session, experts will discuss the links between education and health, nutrition, protection and children’s rights. You’ll hear about how climate change disrupts children’s education and how we can improve resilience and create green jobs for the future.

And in the Financing for impact session, speakers will discuss the future of education financing to build the workforce we need in the 21^st century, including challenging conventional wisdom about what works. They will also address how to strengthen domestic financing in the face of competing budget demands, how data can help countries reach quality learning and how prioritizing teachers and alignment leads to better results.

You can choose to watch a session in full or have the flexibility to move from one to another depending on the speakers or topics that most interest you.

London Live: High-level attendance to advance global education
