Celebrate Learning: International Day of Education for Preschoolers

“Education provides the capability to children to become a better version of themselves.”

Education is a powerful weapon your child can use to change the world. Moreover, it is a wealth that no power in this world can take away from your child. Do you know statistics have revealed that in developing nations, girls face more obstacles while striving for education than boys?

Each year, on Jan 24th, the International Day of Education is celebrated globally. This day aims to amplify the influence of education in transforming lives, societies, and the future.

For preschoolers, this day is a joyful way to engage your children in fun activities that foster early learning and development. At Ideazsuper, we believe in nurturing young minds through engaging educational activities for preschoolers and printable worksheets that make learning enjoyable.

History of International Day of Education

United Nations (UN) General Assembly initiated the International Day of Education on Dec 3rd, 2018. The aim was to use the role of education to achieve sustainable developmental goals. Later, on Jan 24th, 2019, the first successful step was taken to bridge the educational gap worldwide. This initiative is intended to spread awareness regarding equal access to education for everyone and promote awareness regarding education’s role and its impact on children’s futures.
