A World at School's Global Youth Ambassadors (GYAs) are a network of passionate advocates in 85 countries around the world. Two of them - Taha Fathima Khan from India and Ousmane Ba from Sierra Leone - were in New York for the launch of the Education Commission report and the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September.

Here they reflect here on their experiences and how their time in New York will affect their work as GYAs.
