Six Key Messages on Secondary Education

The vision of the Secondary Education Working Group (SEWG) is a world in which all crisis-affected young people have equitable access to quality, inclusive, and relevant secondary education, which they can complete in safety. We are advocating for solutions for crisis-affected and marginalized young people that promote inclusion and gender-responsive approaches in national education systems across the education cycle, from ECD through secondary and into tertiary education. Equity requires special attention to the needs of adolescent girls and the challenges they face in accessing and completing secondary education. Young people have a right to education meaning we have a collective duty to prioritize learning, to strengthen protection measures, and to ensure the wellbeing of young people today.
