UN International Day of Education – January 24

January 24, 2020

Education is a human right!

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights calls for free and compulsory elementary education. The Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted in 1989, stipulates that countries shall make higher education accessible to all.

Education is key to sustainable development

The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognizes that education is essential for the success of all 17 of its goals. Sustainable Development Goal 4 aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by 2030.

2020 Theme – “Learning for people, planet, prosperity, and peace”

The 2020 theme “Learning for people, planet, prosperity and peace,” highlights the integrated nature of education, its humanistic aims, as well as our collective development ambitions. It also gives local communities the flexibility to tailor the celebration for diverse audiences, a variety of contexts and for priority themes.

Look at this video about the UN’s goals.
