About Us
OUR VISION
Secondary education outcomes are recognised as a societal minimum standard.
Every adolescent, regardless of geography, gender, or economic status, should be able to access inclusive, future-ready education that delivers life-changing outcomes.
Global Participation From Leading Organisations
Co-led by organisations with deep roots on the ground.
SOSE is co-convened by four organisations working across secondary education, with a fifth co-convenor from Latin America currently being onboarded — each bringing regional expertise and on-the-ground delivery experience to a shared agenda.

What We Stand For
Our values
Equity & Inclusion
Centering those most excluded from secondary education — girls, rural youth, and children with disabilities.
Evidence & Learning
Grounding every decision in data, research, and honest reflection on what works.
Commitment to Long-Term Change
Systems change takes years, not news cycles — we're built for the long term.
Integrity & Transparency
Open about what we know, what we don't, and how decisions get made.
WHY SOSE EXISTS
Governance Architecture: Four Layers, One Shared Purpose
Interim Coordination - For the first 2 years, Transform Schools will coordinate all the processes, post which an independent Secretariat will be established. The proposed membership processes for the various groups also may be revised as the governance structure evolves.
