Education ٢٠٣٠ Framework for Action

· functioning as a focal point for education within the overall ٢٠٣٠ Agenda for Sustainable Development coordination structure.

All of UNESCO, including its field offices, institutes, networks and relevant platforms, will work towards implementation of Education ٢٠٣٠.

٩٣. The global coordination mechanism of Education ٢٠٣٠, working within the wider ٢٠٣٠ Agenda for Sustainable Development architecture, is the totality of the relevant structures and processes, including the Education ٢٠٣٠ Steering Committee, the Global Education Meetings (GEMs), regional meetings and the Collective Consultation of NGOs on Education for All (CCNGO). The coordination mechanism will be reviewed through the GEMs and adapted as necessary.

٩٤. To ensure strong global coordination, UNESCO will convene a multi-stakeholder Education ٢٠٣٠ Steering Committee (Education ٢٠٣٠ SC), working within the wider ٢٠٣٠ Agenda for Sustainable Development architecture. The Education ٢٠٣٠ SC will support Member States and partners in achieving Education ٢٠٣٠. To this end, it will, among other activities, provide strategic guidance, review progress drawing on the GEMR, and make recommendations to the education community on key priorities and catalytic actions to achieve the new agenda; monitor and advocate for adequate financing; and encourage harmonization and coordination of partner activities. The Education ٢٠٣٠ SC will meet at least once a year.

The Education ٢٠٣٠ SC will be made up of:

· Member States, forming the majority, with three Member State representatives for each of the six regional groups and one representative of the E-٩ countries on a rotational basis;

· UNESCO, UNICEF and the World Bank, each having permanent seats, and one representative of the other convening agencies (UNDP, UNHCR, UNFPA, UN Women and ILO) on a rotational basis;

· one representative of the GPE;

· two representatives of NGOs on a rotational basis;

· one representative of teacher organizations;

· one representative of the OECD, by virtue of its status as an international cooperation organization and its role in the global aid architecture related to official development assistance (ODA);

· one representative from regional organizations for each of the six regions, to be decided by the region, with an option to rotate representation. For Latin America and the Caribbean, the representative will be from the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture.

All members will be designated by their respective constituencies, will represent them and will be accountable to them. Rotation will take place every two years. In addition, a rotating group of affiliated members will be constituted, ensuring regional balance by the Education ٢٠٣٠ SC; it will include representatives of the private sector, foundations, and youth and student organizations. Affiliate members will participate in meetings as observers, upon invitation by the Education ٢٠٣٠ SC. The Education ٢٠٣٠ SC may also form time-limited, ad hoc thematic expert groups to provide technical inputs to its work, and/or draw upon the work of existing ones. UNESCO will provide the Secretariat to the Education ٢٠٣٠ SC.

٩٥. Periodic Global Education Meetings, aligned with the meeting schedule of the High-level Political Forum on sustainable development, will be organized by UNESCO in consultation with the Education ٢٠٣٠ SC to review the Education ٢٠٣٠ agenda against progress made and share outcomes with the appropriate overall global follow-up and review mechanisms for the SDGs. All Member States and other stakeholders that are part of the coordination mechanism will participate in the GEMs. In addition, a high-level meeting will be held alongside the UNESCO
