The Transforming Education youth declaration has been launched at UNGA. This means:Universal and quality education for ALL youth.
Its aim is to drive political commitment on the need to transform education and build young people’s ownership over this process.
“The declaration calls on all young people to “stand up and participate in local and national campaigns and programmes” and urges adults to do more. The declaration also calls for more political will at national and community level to tackle road safety. It urges schools and universities to teach young people about safety, bartenders to serve alcohol responsibly, media to report more widely and more responsibly about the lack of road safety, and celebrities and the entertainment industry not to glamourize speed and to wear seatbelts and helmets.”
Youth as partners and not just beneficiaries in education policy and decision-making
