Nothing About Us, Without Us: Adolescents Reimagining the Future of Secondary Education Globally

Event Description

Secondary education shapes 800 million lives, yet remains the least funded and least researched stage of learning globally. The State of Secondary Education (SOSE) is a growing coalition of NGOs, funders, researchers, and policymakers working to change that. This session brings adolescents into the centre of that conversation, alongside school leaders who champion student voice, bridging youth agency with systemic change. Through rotating facilitated dialogue, young people set the agenda on what must shift so schooling delivers not just income, but dignity, belonging, and justice.
