The director of Education Cannot Wait, Yasmine Sherif, has warned that the promises made on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially on education, are being failed. Sherif made the statement at a United Nations conference on education in crisis zones, where speakers called for increased funding. The conference took place during the High-Level Political Forum and followed the release of the 2023 Sustainable Development Goals Report, which highlighted the learning losses experienced by four out of every five countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The importance of education continuity during emergencies was emphasized, as well as the need for funding and debt relief for education.
