THE month of January is always associated with new beginnings. And for many of us, it’s also about the “back to school” routine, when blissful school holidays end and the school term starts. Fittingly, this is also the month in which the world marks the International Day of Education on Jan 24.
As proclaimed by the United Nations, it is a day that celebrates the role of education in spreading peace and development, and also a day to remind the global community that education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility.
