dc.description.abstractThe future of education for children and adolescents is at a pivotal moment. COVID-19 has meant that millions of children in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region have missed out on months, many of them years, of education. This has affected the foundational skills – basic literacy, numeracy, and transferable skills – that are the critical building blocks for their lives of learning. And it is those skills that empower children to access other new knowledge, experiences, and opportunities.i Therefore, UNICEF and our partners believe it is essential that we fix our eyes firmly on this crucial goal and unite in action to fight learning poverty.1 If we can eliminate learning poverty, we can unlock a world of opportunity. Change is possible. The response to COVID-19 proved that things can be done differently. Governments and organizations – including UNICEF – are committing to invest more, innovate, and scale new ideas and solutions to make sure that every child learns. A key part of this response is the Commitment to Action on Foundational Learning. Endorsed by national governments of 10 countries and three subnational governments in LAC, this ambitious plan grew out of the Transforming Education Summit (TES) held in New York, USA, in September 2022. It aims to close the education resource gaps and enable investments, leveraging technologies and other reforms, needed to effectively advance foundational learning.
