hybrid event in English language (German in German-only Working groups possible)
The struggle for the right to education has always been linked to the promise of equal opportunities. Yet, inequities in terms of access to education, learning achievements and social mobility effects have characterized education systems since their conception. While the UN-Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) re-introduced a focus on inequity within the international development debates, the latest multiple crises have exacerbated educational disparities within and between countries, as well as in a North-South perspective. What are the causes of these inequities, which particular challenges arise from current multiple crises and which strategies do we have to overcome them?
