🎒 Today, over 700,000 students in #Gaza should be starting the new school year.
Instead of hopeful anticipation during this #BackToSchool season, the right to education is once again denied for Gaza's children. Many may never return to school.
As students and teachers around the world head #BackToSchool2025, they reflect on the many ways in which education has lifesaving impacts on their lives and communities.

Today is #InternationalYouthDay2025. As the only child-focused cluster, the GEC recognizes the significant impact education can have on saving and sustaining lives and securing futures of youth everywhere.

The ongoing ban on girls’ secondary education in #Afghanistan leaves them at risk of child labor and early or forced marriages.
The Afghanistan Education Cluster in 2025 is coordinating comprehensive #EiE activities to prioritize the most marginalized.

Refugee and internally displaced children are among the most vulnerable populations in crises. But education protects them from violence and exploitation.
On this #WorldRefugeeDay, we advocate for refugee and IDP children fleeing violence and persecution to fulfill their right to education.
