UN day of Education

International Day of Education is observed on 24th January 2022, this being the fourth International Day of Education with a variety of celebrations taking place on this day with global events are organized at UNESCO Headquarters in New York and Paris. 

Covid-19 has disrupted mainstream education globally and at the same time it has also opened up new insights and possibilities, presenting us with new challenges, technologies, and opportunities. It is important that we recognize and adopt these changes in educating and preparing youths. 
The aim of having the event is to promote awareness about education as a fundamental human right and a public responsibility

• International Day of Education focuses on providing quality and equal education to every group of people. It highlights how quality and ideal education can bring peace and development worldwide.
• Making people aware of various initiatives taken by governments, organizations, educations- from global to local- along with spreading the role of equal and relevant education for all.

Education is a human right, a public good, and a public responsibility.

Without inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong opportunities for all, countries will not succeed in achieving gender equality and breaking the cycle of poverty that is leaving millions of children, youth, and adults behind.

Today, 258 million children and youth still do not attend school; 617 million children and adolescents cannot read and do basic math; less than 40% of girls in sub-Saharan Africa complete lower secondary school, and some four million children and youth refugees are out of school. Their right to education is being violated and it is unacceptable.
