At the 73rd Session of the UN General Assembly, global, business, education and youth leaders, including the Global Partnership for Education, will launch a new partnership to get every young person into quality education, training or employment by 2030. Generation Unlimited will tackle the global education and training crisis currently holding back millions of young people and threatening progress and stability.
Without urgent investment in education and skills training, the rapidly growing global population of adolescents and young people will continue to be unprepared for the future workforce and could face a future of compounding deprivation and discrimination.
The partnership platform will complement and build on existing programs that support adolescents and young people. It will focus on three key areas: secondary-age education; skills for learning, employability and decent work; and empowerment.
