It is held in London each year. The Education World Forum brings together Ministers of Education, Higher Education and Skills, their advisors and delegations from across the world to address key issues and to share the education system challenges they face, the solutions they have found, the learning that has occurred and the successes they have achieved. The next Education World Forum will take place in 2025.
Although an international event, the Forum is supported by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, the Department for Education, the Department for Business and Trade and the British Council.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Home|url=https://www.theewf.org/|access-date=2021-09-07|website=Education World Forum|language=en}}</ref>
