UN Secretary-General's Message
"Education is a human right, and a springboard to greater opportunity, dignity and peace."​
​"Yet around the world, 272 million children and young people lack access to education because of poverty, discrimination, conflict, displacement and disasters."
​
"On this International Day of Education, I call on all governments, partners and donors to prioritize education in their policies, budgets and recovery efforts. We must close the persistent gaps in financing, access and quality that lock young people out of the future they seek and deserve.
​
As this year’s theme reminds us, we particularly need to listen to the voices of young people themselves, and act on their pleas for qualified teachers, relevant skills and competencies training for a changing world, and equitable access to technology.
​
Together, let’s build inclusive, resilient and innovative education systems for all people."

THE POWER OF YOUTH IN
CO-CREATING EDUCATION
Youth under 30 constitute more than half of the global population. They
are a driving force for sustainable development, innovation and
social transformation, yet they remain disproportionately
affected by poverty, inequality and limited
access to quality education and decent
work opportunities. When it comes to
shaping the future of education, youth have a special role to play:
they are the beneficiaries of education programmes and their
future depends on it. For this reason, meaningfully eng
aging students and youth in co-creating the education
they want is essential to meet their aspirations and
ambitions. This is particularly true at a time
of radical transformation induced by
the technological revolution, which calls for rethinking
the purpose and modalities of teaching and learning.

REMINDER:
Ancient Greek Philosophers Plato and Diogenes (17th century) by Mattia Preti
Courtesy, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diogenes
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."
​
"Peace and Education"
are indispensable enablers of
a productive and forward
moving inclusive world
that justly benefits
"All of Humanity"
in terms of global
development, progress
and viable sustainability.
