The Safe to Learn coalition will launch its new 2021-24 strategy at the event, and the World Bank will showcase findings from a ground-breaking investment case that provides data and evidence on the negative impact of violence in school — and the benefits of making school safe.

The event will be held in English with simultaneous translations in French and Spanish.
