The Education & Academia Stakeholder Group (EASG) has unveiled its newly redesigned official website at educationacademia.org. Launched last week, this platform marks a step toward enhancing outreach, transparency, and engagement for civil society, academic networks, and education-rights advocates worldwide.
Since its establishment in 2016, the EASG has served as a critical channel for civil society, academic organizations, and student organizations to advocate for the right to inclusive, equitable, and quality education, in alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) and the 2030 Agenda. Facilitated by Organising Partners, the Global Student Forum (GSF), Global Campaign for Education (GCE), and the International Council for Adult Education (ICAE), the group ensures coordinated advocacy, inclusive participation, and impactful presence in UN processes for the education sector.
What to Expect: Features & Functionality
While the content specifics of the new site await exploration by visitors, the launch presents an opportunity to offer:
Clear information about EASG’s mission, structure, and organising partners
Guidance on how civil society and academic groups can join and participate
Access to position papers, statements, and background resources
Updates on upcoming events, advocacy efforts, and UN policy spaces
Jacob Blasius, Executive Director of the Global Student Forum and Organising Partner of the Education and Academia Stakeholder Group, commented:
“The launch of this new website is an important milestone for the Education and Academia Stakeholder Group. It provides us with a clear, accessible platform to share our work, strengthen coordination across regions, and ensure that the voices of students, educators, and academic networks are heard in UN processes. At a time when education is at the heart of global debates on sustainable development, visibility and access to information are key to meaningful participation.”
