International Day of Education Celebrated at AAFT |
a
date proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2018 to honor
education and its centrality to human well-being and sustainable development..
“Education offers children a ladder out
of poverty and a path to a promising future. But about 265 million children and
adolescents around the world do not have the opportunity to enter or complete
school; 617 million children and adolescents cannot read and do basic math,”
informed Sandeep Marwah President of AAFT University and Patron to IFUNA-
Indian Federation of United Nations Association.
“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,” added Marwah.
