Crises have taken their classrooms. But education cannot wait

Reem Alabali Radovan, Germany's Minister for Development, highlights the urgent need for education funding amid global crises affecting 258 million children. Germany pledges €20 million annually for education in emergencies, emphasizing the importance of classrooms for safety and recovery. The global education aid is expected to decline by 24% this year, risking children's futures and societal stability. Education Cannot Wait (ECW) aims to support 10 million more crisis-affected children in the next four years. Germany's commitment reflects a belief in multilateral partnerships to address global challenges and ensure every child has access to education.
