The Solutions Day of the Transforming Education Summit which took place in New York, 15-19 September 2022, focused on initiatives already underway or in the planning stages. Following an opening plenary session, fifty events were offered throughout the day.  All Solutions events were organised by at least three entities from at least two different member states, in an effort to encourage diversity.

This year’s UN Transforming Education Summit was, in the words of Amina Mohamed, the UN Deputy Secretary General, a once in a century event as it brought together heads of states, major actors in education – both governmental and non-governmental, and youth representatives. The Summit structure marked the UN’s intention to involve youth more actively in the policy-making process as the future outcomes of any policy decided in the present, mainly concern them. The event was spread over three days, beginning with youth-led Mobilisation Day, moving on to Solution Day, orchestrated by major actors in education, and concluding with Leadership Day, involving heads of state.
