The International Day of Education is observed each year on January 24, and this year’s theme was “The Power of Youth in Co-Creating Education.” This important day highlights the vital role education plays in promoting global peace and sustainable development.
Education is essential for children’s safety, health, happiness and future opportunities. It equips young minds with knowledge, skills and confidence, allowing them to build better lives and contribute positively to society. Education is not a privilege for a few — it is a fundamental right for all.
On this day, we not only celebrate the importance of learning but also encourage young people to take an active role in shaping education systems. It is also a time to recognise and appreciate the dedication and hard work of teachers and educators who guide and inspire future generations. We must use this day as a reminder to support education for every child and to empower youth to become leaders of tomorrow.
