At the GDS 2025, a session titled “From Gradual Actions to Systems Change: Transforming Education Systems to be Inclusive and Accessible to All,” gathered key global actors to identify concrete steps for accelerating inclusive education systems. A major outcome of the session was the launch of a new coalition led by the UK, Norway, UNESCO, UNICEF, IDA, and IDDC, joined by other global partners such as the Government of South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Global Partnership for Education. This coalition aims to drive the development of inclusive education systems worldwide.
A defining moment of the Summit was the adoption of the Amman-Berlin Declaration on Global Disability Inclusion, advancing the rights of persons with disabilities globally. It reinforces strong commitments to disability-inclusive international development cooperation and humanitarian action, and emphasizes the central role of meaningful engagement with OPDs.
