Early intervention in education can change lives. Programs like YMCA Queensland's alternative schooling, with a focus on well-being and career pathways, are helping students like Matilda stay in school and build a future. With growing demand and plans for expansion, this approach is giving more Queensland youth the support they need to succeed. There is so much good that can be expanded and built upon in Queensland - join us in pushing for evidence-based solutions to youth crime: https://lnkd.in/gwUWeU9M

Early Years - the organisation for young children were delighted to hear from our ECPC - Early Childhood Peace Consortium colleague, Dr. Issa Ghassan, during a panel discussion on the importance of regional networks to support effective Early Childhood Development (ECD) solutions.

Alignment is a crucial factor to make the most of external aid to education. When funding is not aligned to national systems and contexts, it causes inefficiencies and fragmentation, which means that less external funding actually makes it to children, teachers and schools. It also undermines accountability and ownership, which are necessary to create sustainable and lasting change. GPE promotes alignment of aid with partner countries' systems as part of its commitment to transform education systems. Get an overview of how alignment works and why it matters for #TransformingEducation 👇
