2023 Theme:

"To invest in people, prioritize education.”

Investment is critical to achieving

Sustainable Development Goal 4.

Education is a fundamental human right.

​

It’s the bedrock of societies, economies, and every person’s potential.

​

But without adequate investment, this potential will wither on the vine.

​

It has always been shocking to me that education has been given such a low priority in many government policies and in international cooperation instruments.

​

The theme of this year’s International Day of Education reminds us that “to invest in people, prioritize education.”

Investment is critical to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4.

​

Last year’s Transforming Education Summit gathered the world together to reimagine education systems so every learner accesses the knowledge and skills required to succeed.  

​

Over 130 countries made commitments to ensure that universal quality education becomes a central pillar of public policies and investments.

​

A Call to Action on Educational Investment and the establishment of the International Financing Facility for Education created a fresh push on domestic and international financing.

​

And the Summit launched a range of global initiatives to mobilize support for  education in crises settings, girls’ education, foundational learning, transforming teaching, digital tools, and green education systems.

​

Now is the time for all countries to translate their Summit commitments into concrete actions that create supportive and inclusive learning environments for all students.

​

Now is also the time to end all discriminatory laws and practices that hinder access to education. I call on the de facto authorities in Afghanistan in particular to reverse the outrageous and self-defeating ban on access to secondary and higher education for girls.

​

I also encourage countries to place education at the heart of preparations for the SDG Summit in 2023 and the Summit of the Future in 2024.

​

Most of all, I urge civil society and youth to continue calling for more and better investment in quality education.

​

Let’s keep the flame of transformation burning.

​

Let’s deliver education systems that can support equal societies, dynamic economies and the limitless dreams of every learner in the world.

 REMINDER:

Ancient Greek Philosophers  Plato and Diogenes (17th century) by Mattia Preti

GOLD FRAME 5ab.jpg

The world as a whole cannot successfully progress

further into the future by placing

"Education" as a non-priority.

​

Enhancing the wise words of the

Greek philosopher "Diogenes," 

it can be said that . . .

"The foundation of every

Community, Country [developing], Nation [State] and Kingdom is 

the education of its youth."

​

"Education" is that indispensable enabler of a productive and forward moving inclusive

world that benefits

"All of Humanity"

in terms of global progress.
