Education Cannot Wait: Team Europe pledges €313 million to better education for children in crisis and leave no one behind

The European Commission and EU Member States, as Team Europe, pledged today to invest €313 million in 'Education Cannot Wait', the United Nations global fund that helps reach vulnerable crisis-affected children with immediate and longer-term education support. This is the biggest contribution to the Fund.

The European Union and ‘Education Cannot Wait' both promote access to high-quality education for the children most left behind, and seek to make education investments more effective and sustainable by bridging the gap between humanitarian and development interventions, in line with the commitments of the Transforming Education Summit.
