Youth leaders

GPE provides a platform and support for young people to realize their own ambitions for education transformation and to harness their passion to drive real change in global education.

Youth leaders' role

GPE engages youth leaders around the world to help drive global change in education.

We partner with young people to:

  • Amplify their voices in global education discussions
  • Raise awareness of barriers to education, particularly for marginalized groups
  • Boost leaders’ ambition for education financing
  • Influence decision-makers and mobilize action for inclusive, quality education.

GPE youth leaders are young education activists based in GPE partner and donor countries. They are raising awareness of the barriers to education and aiming to increase the ambition of leaders for financing education and development. They are supporting GPE’s financing campaign to transform education systems in their countries and around the world.
