International Day of Education

What’s the one thing that can’t be taken away once you have it? Education! International Day of Education, celebrated on January 24th, reminds us just how life-changing learning can be. It’s the key to unlocking dreams, tearing down barriers, and giving everyone the tools to thrive-no matter where they’re from or what their background is. 

But here’s the thing: over 244 million children and youth are still out of school. Shocking, right? That’s why this day is so important-it’s a call to make education accessible for all. Learning isn’t just about books and exams; it’s the foundation for building fairer, kinder communities. Today is about celebrating the teachers, mentors, and organisations making a difference. So, what will you do-or learn-today to help spread the gift of education?
