SUMMARY:International Day of Education 2024
DESCRIPTION:Education is a human right\, a public good and a public responsibility.\nThe United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 24 January as International Day of Education\, in celebration of the role of education for peace and development. \nEducation is a human right\nThe right to education is enshrined in article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The declaration calls for free and compulsory elementary education. The Convention on the Rights of the Child\, adopted in 1989\, goes further to stipulate that countries shall make higher education accessible to all. \nEducation is key to sustainable development\nWhen it adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in September 2015\, the international community recognized that education is essential for the success of all 17 of its goals. Sustainable Development Goal 4\, in particular\, aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by 2030. \n  \nLearning for lasting peace\nLearning for peace must be a transformative process\, enabling learners to gain essential knowledge\, values\, attitudes\, skills\, and behaviors\, thereby empowering them to serve as catalysts for peace in their communities. The foundation of more peaceful\, just\, and sustainable societies is laid through education\, a force that permeates every facet of our daily lives and overall prospects. In the face of escalating climate change\, democratic erosion\, persistent inequalities\, growing discrimination\, hate speech\, violence\, and conflict on a global scale\, education emerges as a powerful tool to both address and prevent these challenges in the future. Moreover\, when effectively shaped and implemented\, education becomes a long-term investment with increasing returns. \nAn active commitment to peace is more urgent today than ever: Education is central to this endeavor.
