International Day of Education 2025
January 24, 2025 in the World
The United Nations celebrates the International Day of Education on January 24, 2025 to emphasize the pivotal role of education in achieving peace and equality worldwide. Proclaimed in 2018, it was first observed in 2019, with the intention of highlighting education as both a public responsibility and a fundamental human right. Access to quality education is recognized as a cornerstone for achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. The day is celebrated annually.
Education not only equips individuals with the tools to escape poverty but also fosters understanding and cooperation across cultures. The Day of Education serves as a reminder to governments and stakeholders to invest in inclusive education systems, ensuring that no one is left behind, particularly in marginalized and crisis-affected regions.
