International Day of Education

24 January

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

Changing Course, Transforming Education

The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 24 January as International Day of Education, in celebration of the role of education for peace and development.

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.

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL

In  these  exceptional  times,  business  as  usual  is  no  longer  an  option.  If  we  are  to  transform the future, if we are to change course, we must rethink education.  This means forging a new social contract for education, as called for by the UNESCO report  on  the  Futures  of  Education,  released  last  November.  We  need  to  repair  past  injustices and orient the digital transformation around inclusion and equity. And we need education  to  fully  contribute  to  sustainable  development  –  for  instance,  by integrating environmental education in all curricula and by training teachers in this field.” – Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO Director General
