United Nations A/RES/73/25
General Assembly Distr.: General
6 December 2018
Seventy-third session
Agenda item 14
Resolution adopted by the General Assembly
on 3 December 2018
[without reference to a Main
Committee (A/73/L.39 and A/73/L.39/Add.1)]
73/25. International
Day of Education
The
General Assembly,
Reaffirming its resolution 70/1 of 25 September 2015,
entitled “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development”, in which it adopted
a comprehensive, far-reaching and people-centred set of
universal and transformative Sustainable Development Goals
and targets, its commitment to working tirelessly for the
full implementation of the Agenda by 2030, its recognition
that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions,
including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge
and an indispensable requirement for sustainable
development, its commitment to achieving sustainable
development in its three dimensions – economic, social and
environmental – in a balanced and integrated manner, and to
building upon the achievements of the Millennium Development
Goals and seeking to address their unfinished business,
Acknowledging the importance of education for achieving
sustainable development, including in the context of the
achievements of the Millennium
Development Goals, Agenda 21,(1) , the Plan of
Implementation of the World Summit on Sustainable
Development (Johannesburg Plan of Implementation) (2), the
Education for All goals, the Global Action Programme on
Education for Sustainable Development, (3) and the Incheon
Declaration and Framework for Action for the implementation
of Sustainable Development Goal 4,
Recalling its resolution 72/222 of 20 December 2017 on
education for sustainable development in the framework of
the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, as well as its resolution 70/209 of 22 December
2015 and other previous resolutions on the United Nations
Decade of Education for Sustainable Development,
Reaffirming its resolutions 53/199 of 15 December 1998
and 61/185 of 20 December 2006 on the proclamation of
international years and Economic and Social Council
resolution 1980/67 of 25 July 1980 on international years
and anniversaries, particularly paragraphs 1 to 10 of the
annex thereto on the agreed criteria for the proclamation of
international years, as well as paragraphs 13 and 14, in
which it is stated that an international year should not be
proclaimed before the basic arrangements for its
organization and financing have been made,
Recognizing that education plays a key role in building
sustainable and resilient societies and contributes to the
achievement of all of the other Sustainable Development
Goals; it increases the productivity of individuals and
strengthens the potential for economic growth, develops the
skills needed for decent work, develops the professional
skills needed for sustainable development, including in the
fields of water and sanitation, green energy and the
conservation of natural resources, helps to eradicate
poverty and hunger, contributes to improved health, promotes
gender equality and can reduce inequality, and promotes
peace, the rule of law and respect for human rights,
Acknowledging the importance of working to ensure
inclusive and equitable quality education at all levels –
early childhood, primary, secondary, tertiary and distance
education, including technical and vocational training – so
that all people may have access to lifelong learning
opportunities that help them to acquire the knowledge and
skills needed to access opportunities to participate fully
in society and contribute to sustainable development,
1. Decides to
proclaim 24 January the International Day of Education;
2. Invites all
Member States, organizations of the United Nations
system, other international and regional organizations and
civil society organizations, non-governmental organizations,
faith-based organizations, academic institutions,
the private sector, individuals and other relevant
stakeholders to observe the International Day of Education
in an appropriate manner and to continue to give
consideration to enhancing international cooperation in
support of the efforts of all Member States towards the
realization of Sustainable Development Goal 4;(4)
3. Invites the
United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization, as the specialized United Nations
agency for education, to facilitate the observance of 24
January of every year as the International Day of Education,
mindful of the provisions contained in the annex to Economic
and Social Council resolution 1980/67;
4. Stresses that
the cost of all activities that may arise from
the implementation of the present resolution should be met
from voluntary contributions;
5. Requests the
