Global Action Week for Education (GAWE) is GCE’s flagship annual mobilisation, bringing together students, teachers, unions, parents, and activists across the world to demand that every government guarantee free, quality, inclusive public education. Each year, GAWE shines a spotlight on urgent education justice issues and inspires creative national and local actions that push leaders to turn promises into real progress in classrooms and communities.

Through coordinated advocacy, public events, and digital campaigns, GAWE highlights the voices of those most impacted by education inequality and underfunding, calling for stronger education policy, budgets, and accountability. It is a powerful moment for the movement to come together, share stories and strategies, and show that collective action can transform education systems and lives.
