International Day of Education 24 January 2025
Education is a universally recognized human right. It is a public good and responsibility. The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the 24th of January (of each year) as International Day of Education. The purpose is to highlight the importance of education as a key to a more peaceful and developmental world.
The main theme for 2025 is: "Artificial Intelligence and Education-Preserving Human Agency In A World of Automation." As a global community, we must reflect on the progress of technology and innovation over the last few decades, and how that has impacted (both negatively and positively) our lives and communities.
Our children need to be future-fit and prepared to tackle the challenges and seize the opportunities associated with technological advancements such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, IoT, etc.
