Celebrate International Day of Education

Published: 24 January 2020

McGill's Faculty of Education reminds all students, staff, alumni, and friends that education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility.

The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed January 24 as International Day of Education, in celebration of the role of education for peace and development.

Without inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong opportunities for all, countries will not succeed in achieving gender equality and breaking the cycle of poverty that is leaving millions of children, youth and adults behind.
