The World Record was broken - at least 7.5 million people took part in the World’s Biggest Lesson and numbers are still coming in. The countries that managed to raise the highest numbers were Bangladesh and Vietnam. Not only was the word record broken but this huge attempt by civil society raised the profile of education rights around the world.
