As young people from around the world, we are living in a time of challenge and opportunity. Inequality, youth unemployment, conflict, and the rapid pace of digital change are reshaping our futures. In the face of all this, we believe one thing can multiply possibility more than anything else: education.

Education is not just about passing exams or collecting certificates. It's about unlocking minds, building skills, sparking ideas, and creating space for every child and young person to reach their full potential. It's how we build stronger communities, fairer societies, and a better world for everyone—no matter their background, gender, or ability.

Why education matters

We believe that education multiplies possibility because:

  • It opens doors to decent work and real opportunities, giving us the tools to create solutions, start businesses, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
  • It builds more inclusive and peaceful societies, helping us understand each other, fight extremism, and break cycles of poverty and violence.
  • It promotes gender equality and equity, helping us challenge discrimination and create fairer systems for everyone, including girls, children with disabilities, and those often left behind.
  • It empowers us to lead change, speak up for our rights, and take action on global challenges like climate change, inequality, and digital access.
  • And ultimately, it's the path to ensuring that every child and young person, everywhere, can grow, dream, and achieve their full potential.

We call on world leaders to invest boldly in education, because education multiplies possibility for people, peace, and the planet. Back quality, inclusive, and relevant education systems with real resources, innovative financing, and unwavering commitment, especially for those who need it most. Fund what matters. Fund education.

Partnership for impact

GPE is a key partner in turning this vision into reality. GPE works with countries that need it most, helping build strong, inclusive education systems that leave no one behind. Through the GPE2030 replenishment campaign, GPE is rallying support from governments, donors, and partners to unlock the power of education where it matters most. We need world leaders to stand with GPE—politically and financially—because when we fund education, we multiply what's possible for everyone.

Dear World Leaders, help us build a future where every young person has the chance to thrive, contribute, and create a better world, because when you invest in education, you multiply possibility for us all.

Investing in education is investing in us—future leaders, innovators, and change-makers.
