Website:https://educationacademia.org

The Education and Academia Stakeholder Group (EASG) is an official United Nations stakeholder group[1] composed of organisations dedicated to promoting the right inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.[2] [3] It was formed in 2016 and includes human rights-based civil society organisations and academic institutions.[4] As a recognised stakeholder group, the EASG monitors and reviews the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).[5] During the annual High-level Political Forum, EASG provides interventions and submits shadow reports shading light on developments countries downplay in their own reporting.[6] [7]

The EASG's primary focus is on the implementation of Agenda 2030 and specifically SDG 4. The EASG is part of the Major Groups and Other Stakeholders (MGoS) Coordination Mechanism,[8] which ensures coordination across the various stakeholder groups in UN processes.[9] The group is led by three organising partners: Global Campaign for Education, International Council for Adult Education, and Global Student Forum.
