NATIONS need to invest in schools instead of war, a leading charity said today on UN International Day of Education.
On the sixth United Nations International Day of Education, the charity Education Cannot Wait called on world leaders to “end wars and armed conflicts and focus on our common humanity to embrace the vast potential that learning offers in uniting our world.”
The charity said the world is being torn apart by injustice, oppression, racism, xenophobia, fear, greed and violent means of conflict resolution.
