Discover how the world is celebrating Education Day and advocating for peace through learning. Read on to find out fascinating insights and initiatives dedicated to advancing education globally!

The International Day of Education is a momentous occasion celebrated worldwide on 24th January each year. This year, the focus is on harnessing the transformative power of education to promote lasting peace and combat hate speech. Organizations like UNESCO and UNICEF are leading the way in advocating for inclusive education and empowering learners with knowledge and values.

One key aspect of this year's Education Day is the call for practical action to ensure equitable access to education for all, regardless of socio-economic backgrounds. The theme of 'Learning for lasting peace' resonates strongly in a world where education is seen as a powerful tool for fostering harmony and understanding among diverse communities.

In Nigeria, the importance of school safety and alternative learning platforms has been emphasized by UNICEF, highlighting the need for immediate action to enhance educational opportunities for children across the country. The African Union Education department is also actively promoting Education Day, emphasizing the role of education in advancing science, technology, and innovation on the continent.

As we commemorate the International Day of Education, let us remember that education is not just a right but a catalyst for positive change and sustainable development. Let's continue to support initiatives that prioritize learning and empower individuals to shape a brighter future through knowledge and understanding.
