To coincide with the launch of the GEM 2020 Gender Report, the GEM Report launched the #Iamthe1stGirl campaign showcasing the stories of first generation girls graduates from around the world.

New Policy Paper on ‘Inclusive teaching: preparing all teachers to teach all students’ published by UNESCO
An important element of inclusive education involves ensuring that all teachers are prepared to teach all students. Inclusion cannot be realized unless teachers are empowered agents of change, with values, knowledge and attitudes that permit every student to succeed. To summarize the policy perspectives on inclusive teaching, the GEM Report team along with the Teachers Task Force for Education 2030 have also published a policy paper on Inclusive Teaching.

The GEM Report team has launched a video explaining the education financing gap and the impact that COVID-19 may have on financing of education and achieving the targets of SDG4 based on its latest policy paper, Act now: Reduce the impact of COVID-19 on the cost of achieving SDG 4.
