Education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility. The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 24 January as International Day of Education, in celebration of the role of education for peace and development.The event will be celebrated on January 25 at the UNESCO headquarters in New York. ā€œInternational Day of Education 2024 will be a global platform to sustain political mobilisation, take forward national commitments and global initiatives, and step up public engagement in favour of education as the path to peace, sustainable development and individual and collective well-being.


      24 January 2024 marks the 6th observance of the International Day of Education. The 2024 theme of IDE is ā€œLearning for Lasting Peaceā€

      According to a UNESCO report in November 2023, the number of out-of-school children and youth has increased by 6 million since 2021.

      This goal ensures that all girls and boys complete free primary and secondary schooling by 2030.
