Abstract: In this commentary, we explore the intersection between Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, which commits to ensuring access to quality and equitable education, and SDG 17, which promotes global partnerships to achieve the SDGs. We do this through a focus on education in emergencies (EiE), a field of global engagement that addresses education in situations of crisis, such as war, forced displacement, health emergencies, and climate disaster. Through exploring the nexus of SDG 4 and SDG 17, we argue that achieving education in emergencies through advancing partnerships faces numerous challenges. In particular, barriers relate to issues of power, colonial hierarchies, racism, and marketization in the wider humanitarian architecture.
