On the occasion of the International Day of Education on 24 January, the European Commission and the High Representative Josep Borrell have issued the following statement:
“Education and lifelong learning are essential to achieve a just and sustainable development, and tackle inequalities, through dialogue, solidarity, mutual understanding and cooperation, inclusive, democratic and participatory governance, and gender equality. At the same time, they are key to protecting, sustaining and building peace.
We will notably continue working so that every child and young person can access education, no matter who they are or where they live, building on the commitments of the 2022 European Year of Youth. The EU also promotes a lifelong learning approach for all, in line with the 2023 European Year of Skills.
The positive effects of education can only be maximised through equity and inclusion in well-resourced education systems that are fit for the future, allowing everyone to fulfil their potential.”
