About

The day aims to promote the importance of education and its role in human rights, sustainable development, peace, and social justice. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2018 to raise awareness about the significance of access to quality education for all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances. The day encourages stakeholders, including governments, educators, organizations, parents, and students, to advocate for inclusive and equitable education. It also serves as an opportunity to address the challenges and barriers in education systems worldwide and work towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals related to education. Various activities, events, and initiatives are organized globally on this day to raise awareness and promote dialogue about the importance of education in building a better future for all.
