The SDG 4 High-Level Steering Committee (HLSC) launched a three-year global consultation process (January 2026 to December 2028) to identify the priorities for education after the 2030 Agenda. The decision was taken in the context of the 10th anniversary of the 2030 Agenda, building on the commitments of the Fortaleza Declaration of the 2024 Global Education Meeting (GEM). This consultation process seeks to identify and build consensus around education priorities (‘what’) and strategies (‘how’) beyond 2030, ensuring that the proposed agenda is holistic and responsive to global and local realities.

The Learning Planet Institute is happy to partner with SDG 4 Youth & Student Network, teachers from the UNESCO Associated Schools Network and UNESCO staff, and UNU on that initiative.
Education beyond 2030: Global youth and student consultations to shape the future education agenda
Youth voices are shaping education beyond 2030. What should education look like after 2030? Make your voice count!
Young people are directly affected by education policies and will experience the long-term impact of decisions taken today. The youth consultation is a basis for the Youth Agenda on Education Beyond 2030. It ensures that young people’s perspectives and ideas are meaningfully integrated into the process of defining future priorities. By collecting input from young people worldwide, the consultation helps to show the direction that leaders and societies will take to shape education beyond 2030.
A global survey
Through a global survey and consultation meetings, young people and youth organizations worldwide are called to share their views on three core themes: young people’s vision and aspirations for the world, the changes they would like to see in education and learning, and the actions they are willing to take to help bring about these changes. The survey will be open until 20 September 2026.
