Background: International Day of Education is a global observance proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly to celebrate the role of education for peace and development. It was first celebrated on January 24, 2019, following the adoption of a resolution calling for the celebration of education worldwide.
History: The UN recognizes education as a human right, a public good, and a public responsibility. While the day is globally recognized, it does not have a long history in the United States as it does in some other observances. It has been designated to highlight the importance of inclusive and equitable quality education for all.
Traditions and Activities:
On International Day of Education in the United States, while there are no fixed traditions per se, individuals and organizations are encouraged to participate in activities that promote knowledge about education's critical role in human well-being and societal progress.
