International Day of Education

Published By UNNGOF |  January 22, 2024

In 2018 the UN voted for January 4th to become the International Day of Education with the day intended to celebrate the role education plays in building peace and sustainable development.

Events are held around the world to raise awareness about securing quality education for all – an important sustainable development goal and human right. The day is also used to highlight the vital role education has in development, gender inequality and social mobility.
