I Wanted to Go to School… But the School Was No Longer There

Young people around the world are telling us what they want and need from education, especially in situations of crisis. The Youth Declaration on Transforming Education, delivered at the Transforming Education Summit, is just one instance where young people have made clear that they intend to drive change, “not as passive beneficiaries but as partners and collaborators every step of the way.”
Young people don’t need others to speak for them, so in this space, our youth partners share their thoughts and opinions on Education in Emergencies. See the latest submissions below.
If you have any questions or comments, let us know!
