Rights of the Child: Segment 3 - The Right to Life Survival and Development

Global Education & Skills Forum Alliances are groups of experts brought together by The Varkey Foundation to think about how education can change the world. Their members include leaders from academia, government, business, civil society and teaching. Each alliance convenes around a particular theme. Some alliances work on the key issues of our time, such as conflict and climate change. Others focus on the big questions in education, including what makes effective teachers, how data can be collected responsibly, and how universities can successfully partner with each other. Discovery Learning Alliance (DLA) partners with schools and communities to transform education through teacher professional development, community engagement, educational media and other dynamic learning resources. Gender responsive pedagogy is an important element of DLA’s extensive teacher training.
