Global Education Coalition meeting in Paris

 Global Education Coalition meeting in Paris

We joined partners from around the world in Paris this week for the UNESCO Global Education Coalition and Global Skills Academy meeting.

A few highlights from the day:

• Ministers of education and 240+ partners gathered for the 6th GEC meeting. SkillEd has been part of the coalition since 2021, and it’s inspiring to see the continued commitment to inclusive digital transformation.
• Strong networking and new collaboration opportunities – including promising next steps for Ukraine.
• AI in education was a major theme. Sessions explored how learners can use AI to build employable skills and even create their own jobs.
• The Global Skills Academy has now reached more than 2 million learners, with an ambition to scale to 10 million. We discussed concrete ways to get there, including SkillEd’s cascading blended training model.

The Global Education Coalition continues to be a vital platform where multilateral organisations, private partners, academia, and networks align expertise and innovation to ensure that digital education benefits all learners — while staying within the planet’s ecological boundaries.

We’re proud to contribute to this shared mission and look forward to deepening our collaborations in the months ahead.
