As it was detailed in UNESCO’s global Futures of Education report, transforming the future requires an urgent rebalancing or our relationships with each other, with nature as well as with technology that permeates our lives, bearing breakthrough opportunities while raising serious concerns for equity, inclusion and democratic participation.

​

This year’s International Day of Education will be a platform to showcase the most important transformations that have to be nurtured to realize everyone’s fundamental right to education and build a more sustainable, inclusive and peaceful futures. It will generate debate around how to strengthen education as a public endeavour and common good, how to steer the digital transformation, support teachers, safeguard the planet and unlock the potential in every person to contribute to collective well-being and our shared home.

 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."

​

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

world that benefits

"All of Humanity"

in terms of global progress.
