The Global Schools Forum (GSF) Annual Meeting, now in its fourth year, took place from 15 - 17 May 2019 in Nairobi, Kenya – for the first time in a country where GSF has members. As one of the cornerstones of GSF, the Annual Meeting is part of our commitment to connect and provide support to great school operators and intermediary organisations from around the world.

The Global Education Monitoring Report (GEMR) is THE big annual report in international education, submitted by a UNESCO-housed but editorially-independent team. Every year, the GEMR combines an annual update on progress against global education goals with a deeper-dive thematic focus. The 2021 report will have a thematic focus on non-state actors, and is therefore of high importance to GSF and to our members.

Now in its fourth year our Annual Meeting will continue to focus on what it takes to build high performing schools and school networks. The conference brings together an exciting group of school operators, investors, funders, and intermediary organisations that support the non-state education sector.

We recently gathered some of the organisations in the GSF network running or supporting secondary schools for a roundtable discussion on 'Preparing Young People for Work'. Leaders from these organisations shared challenges, innovations and promising practices emerging from their secondary school and work preparedness programmes and brainstormed on collective ways forward.
