International Day of Education is a globally recognized observance that emphasizes the significant role of education as a human right, a public good, and enabler of personal development and social progress. An agenda led by the United Nations, it underscores the fact that everyone, regardless of socio-economic status, should have access to quality learning opportunities. This commemoration calls for a more inclusive, equitable, and quality education that helps in reducing gender, economic, and digital divides while also contributing towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The United Nations General Assembly announced the International Day of Education on December 3, 2018, acknowledging that inclusive and equitable quality education plays a pivotal role in achieving their 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The concept resonates strongly with the long-standing American principle that similar to other fundamental rights, education too, should be accessible to all, irrespective of their identity or background. The United Nations and America share a mutual commitment to enhancing the quality of learning by facing challenges like inadequate infrastructure, lack of trained teachers, and disparities based on gender, urban/rural location, and other circumstances. In the United States, International Day of Education is a time to reflect, act, and mobilize. Activities encompass discussions, seminars, and social and digital campaigns that advocate for equal access to quality education. Participants involve not only educational institutions and non-profits, but also individuals who are willing to constructively engage in this initiative. The United States observes International Day of Education on January 24, the same day as the global community, reaffirming its commitment as a steadfast participant in global education development.
