Unleashing the full potentialof the next generation
About Us
The Global Business Coalition for Education is a movement of businesses committed to ending the global education crisis. Our mission is to ensure that every child has the best start in life, a safe place to learn, and skills for the future.
800 million youth
will not have the basic skills necessary to be part of the workforce by 2030 if no action is taken
Established as an initiative of the global children’s charity Theirworld in 2012, the Global Business Coalition for Education leverages the collective power of business, government, international organizations, NGOs, youth, and other stakeholders to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal of free, equitable, and inclusive quality education for all.
We empower companies to make strategic decisions about how to have the greatest impact in reaching this ambition.
We believe education is the key to unlocking all social, economic, and development goals. Innovation and economic growth, climate action and health outcomes, racial and gender equity — and so much more — all depend on education. We also know that tackling the global education crisis takes the collective power and assets of the business community.
Global Education is in crisis
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the global education system was failing far too many children, families, and communities.More than 1.5 billion students experienced school closures due to COVID-19. And while the social development, employment opportunities, and mental health impacts are universal, students from marginalized backgrounds and low-incomes were disproportionately hit by education disruptions.
Why now
Education is on the chopping block. From local and national government budgets, international aid, corporate sustainability programs, and philanthropy, the progress we have made around the globe is facing the grim realities of budget cuts and increased inequality.
As demands on companies increase for improved ESG performance, driving change through education is more important today than ever before. It’s time to come together to make the case that education is the key to unlocking big change.
Education is central to the success of the business community. Thriving as a business in the 21st century requires an educated workforce, a growing customer base, and the ability to innovate and stay ahead of rapid change — all of these ultimately depend on the quality of the education system in the communities businesses live and work in.
Why work with us
Every company has something to contribute towards solving the global education crisis. Our goal is to help companies identify the best way to make the greatest social impact. Becoming a member of the Global Business Coalition for Education provides companies unparalleled access to our team’s expertise and vast networks of companies, foundations, international organizations, NGOs, and youth partners engaged in shaping education policy, programs, and public campaigns. Effective investment in education today can help create the future that all children deserve.
