A significant challenge faces education systems worldwide. Millions of children lack the knowledge and skills needed to succeed. Rapid changes in technology, society, and the environment raise questions about the ability of current education systems to prepare children for their future.

Improving education outcomes will require substantial changes. This includes not only strengthening education systems but also rethinking the way children learn. Further details on addressing the global learning crisis are available from UNICEF's Education Strategy, which outlines a plan for shaping the future of learning.
