For every child, the right to a Future

How can you make a difference?

The fundamental mission of UNICEF is to promote the rights of every child, everywhere, in everything the organization does — in programmes, in advocacy and in operations. The equity strategy emphasizes the most disadvantaged and excluded children and families and ensures that all children have an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potential. 

UNICEF’s Education Programme supports countries to deliver equitable, inclusive, and high‑quality learning for all children and adolescents, in line with Every Child Learns Education Strategy 2019–2030 and the UNICEF Strategic Plan 2026–2029. Central to this agenda is the transformation of teacher and workforce systems as a core driver of education quality, resilience, and equity. 

Education Centers of Excellence (CoEs) provide predictive, integrated, and trackable technical assistance to countries. The Education Global Practice supports education system reform across the learning lifecycle, from school readiness to skills for life and work, with teacher and workforce development recognized as one of the most critical leverage points for improving learning outcomes and strengthening system resilience, particularly in fragile and crisis settings
