Subject: Today is International Day of Education

Dear friends and colleagues
The United Nations has proclaimed today, 24th January, as International Day of Education, in celebration of the role of education for peace and development. The UN Director General, Ms Audrey Azoulay, has released the following statement – see https://en.unesco.org/commemorations/educationday

“This day is the occasion to reaffirm fundamental principles. Firstly, education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility. Secondly, education is the most powerful force in our hands to ensure significant improvements in health, to stimulate economic growth, to unlock the potential and innovation we need to build more resilient and sustainable societies. Lastly, we urgently need to call for collective action for education at global level."
Best wishes,
Frances
