The aim of the event is to:  

• Present the report’s main findings and recommendations with key stakeholders;
• Explore concrete examples of approaches taken by the UK to engage with non-state actors in education (both domestically and internationally) in laws, policies and regulations, aimed to promote equity and quality and what lessons can be drawn for others;
• Invite participants to rally around the report’s recommendations, calling for all actors to adhere to the principles of equity, quality and accountability, to support governments in delivering on SDG 4.  

The interactive discussion will include two high-level panel discussions featuring representatives from teachers unions, UK government, civil society and academia.
