🎒 Today, over 700,000 students in #Gaza should be starting the new school year.

Instead of hopeful anticipation during this #BackToSchool season, the right to education is once again denied for Gaza's children. Many may never return to school.

✂️Aid cuts on #education have left 33 million people in need outside the scope of aid planning.

As a member of the @eiegenevahub.bsky.social hub & a close partner of @inee.org @globaledcluster.bsky.social, FCA is devastated by the latest report.

Donors must sustain & increase funding towards #EiE

Recent unosatyr.bsky.social satellite imagery shows almost every school building in #Gaza - including UNRWA’s – have been damaged in the war.

Schools must be protected at all times.

The humanitarian system is being tested like never before and for many crisis-affected children, education is among the 1st casualties.

We welcome @tomfletcherun.bsky.social's response to our letter that EiE remains a priority in the Reset.

The ongoing ban on girls’ secondary education in #Afghanistan leaves them at risk of child labor and early or forced marriages.

The Afghanistan Education Cluster in 2025 is coordinating comprehensive #EiE activities to prioritize the most marginalized.

Refugee and internally displaced children are among the most vulnerable populations in crises. But education protects them from violence and exploitation.

On this #WorldRefugeeDay, we advocate for refugee and IDP children fleeing violence and persecution to fulfill their right to education.

Taking examples from #Pakistan, PAGE Pakistan discusses the invisible leadership of women-led organizations and the negative perceptions that devalue the contributions women make, when they are often bridges between classroom and the crisis.
