The Transforming Education Summit + 4 (TES+4) will bring together leaders and partners to review progress since the 2022 UN Transforming Education Summit and to accelerate action towards achieving SDG 4.
Convened by the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Director-General of UNESCO on the occasion of the meeting of the SDG 4 High-Level Steering Committee (HLSC), this event marks a key midpoint between the 2022 TES and the 2030 deadline for SDG 4, at a time when education systems are under growing pressure from fiscal constraints, climate shocks, protracted crises and rapid technological change, including advances in artificial intelligence.
Focused on education system transformation and resilience, TES+4 will spotlight key drivers of change, including the teaching profession, lifelong learning and inclusive digital transformation. Equity, inclusion and gender equality will remain central to all discussions while sustainable education financing will underpin implementation and delivery.
TES+4 will serve as a strategic bridge to the key global milestones in 2027, including the Global Education Meeting, the SDG 4 review at the High-level Political Forum (HLPF) and the SDG Summit, where the international community is expected to align priorities and mobilize action for the final push to 2030 and beyond.
