SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL:3: GOOD HEALTH |
“Education is the basis for improving our lives and sustainable development”
To ensure inclusive, equitable and quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
- 617 million young people in the world lack basic numeracy and minimum literacy skills.
- Primary school enrolment in developing countries has reached 91%, but 57 million primary school-age children are still out of school.
- An estimated 50% of children out of primary school live in conflict-affected areas.
To protect the well-being of children and ensure they have access to lifelong learning, UNESCO launched the Global Coalition for Education COVID-19 in March 2020, a multi-sectoral partnership between the UN system, civil society organisations, media and IT partners to design and implement innovative solutions. Together, they help countries address content and connectivity gaps and facilitate inclusive learning opportunities for children and youth during this period of sudden and unprecedented educational disruption.
- Show your children educational and entertaining movies or TV shows.
- Share your skills with those who need them.
- Donate books to libraries or public schools in need.
