International Day of Education
📚✨ January 24is International Day of Education ✨📚
🌍 Education is a human right, a public good, and a public responsibility. Without inclusive and equitable quality education, we cannot break the cycles of poverty, achieve gender equality, or build a world rooted in peace and sustainability.
💡 This year’s theme: “Learning for Lasting Peace” reminds us that education is a cornerstone of global progress. It empowers individuals, strengthens communities, and transforms nations.
🖤 How does this connect to the Black community? For generations, education has been a powerful tool of liberation and empowerment in Black communities worldwide. From the fight for literacy during enslavement to today’s advocacy for equitable resources and opportunities, education has always been a pathway to justice, equality, and progress.

🔹 Education has always been a source of empowerment and transformation in Black communities. It has fueled curiosity, sparked imagination, and opened doors to the world’s rich cultures and histories.
