Two quotes for this 5th UNESCO International Day of Education:

“No country in the world should bar women and girls from receiving an education,” 

Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO Director-General

“One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world,”

Malala Yousafzai, UN Messenger of Peace and Nobel laureate.

The day has been dedicated by UNESCO to all the girls and women in Afghanistan, who have been denied their right to learn, study and teach. The Organization condemns this serious attack on human dignity and on the fundamental right to education.
