The United Nations General Assembly has designated January 24th as the International Day of Education, acknowledging the pivotal role of education in promoting peace and development around the world.

Education is a fundamental human right, critical for advancing public good and shared responsibility. Without inclusive, equitable, and high-quality education, and lifelong opportunities for everyone, it’s impossible to achieve gender equality or break the cycle of poverty that has left millions of children, youth, and adults behind.

Today, a staggering 244 million children and young people remain out of school, and 771 million adults lack basic literacy skills. These figures represent a blatant violation of their right to education, and demand immediate attention from all interested parties.

We cannot tolerate this ongoing educational crisis any longer. It’s time to take transformative actions that will turn the tide.

Everyone must work together, at all levels of society, to ensure that every child, every teenager, and every adult, regardless of their background, has access to a quality education. It’s only through this kind of united effort that we can hope to end the scourge of educational inequality, and give all people the means they need to pursue their dreams and improve their lives.

So on this International Day of Education, let’s pledge to redouble our efforts to provide education for all. And let’s make education everyone’s responsibility and priority, so we can build a better future for all of us.
