Join GPE and the Global Campaign for Education / Norway for an online workshop with Alice Albright, GPE CEO, Angel Mbuthia, GPE youth leader, and several Norwegian youth politicians across the political spectrum for discussions on the importance of education.

Millions of children have now been out of school for almost a year, and many - girls and the poorest in particular - will never return. The need to invest in education has never been more urgent, yet two of three developing countries have reduced their budgets to education in the time of the pandemic.

Norway is known for its strong public institutions and an inclusive education system that facilitates learning for every child and youth. Currently the political parties are finalizing their political manifestos with priorities for the coming four years. What is their position on global education? And what role do they think Norway should play further?

I: Global education 10 months into the pandemic, with a special focus on Kenya

Speakers:

• Alice Albright, GPE CEO
• Angel Warira, GPE youth leader from Kenya

II: Norway's role in global education: A discussion between political youth parties (in Norwegian)
