As part of the TES follow up process, the Global Education Coalition has created the Digital Transformation Collaborative (DTC), a subgroup gathering the Global Education Coalition’s 200+ Members. DTC members are interested in going beyond piloting projects and in investing in partnerships with countries to help education systems develop their digital ecosystems.

The present progress report examines the Coalition's role as an example of international solidarity and cooperation during times of crisis. It also provides a detailed action plan with four missions and the Digital Transformation Challenge (DTC) as its cornerstone. Additionally, the report will cover the Coalition's characteristics, activities, core areas of focus, and the insights gained in the last 12 months. Finally, the report will consider the GEC's strategic objectives for the future, such as the expansion of the DTC and the introduction of in-country activities to facilitate digital transformation in education.

It is noteworthy to mention that on 28 March 2023, the third anniversary of the establishment of the Global Education Coalition, UNESCO held the first in-person Member Meeting at its headquarters in Paris, bringing together all 208 members of the Coalition, as well as Member States. The Coalition is carrying out and expanding its four major objectives regarding skills, teachers, catch-up learning, and gender. At the same time, the members are collaborating to compile data, support, and exchange information about major challenges and solutions in education.
