Virtual event organized by the Permanent Missions of Costa Rica and of El Salvador to the United Nations in New York in collaboration with the Permanent Observer Mission of the University for Peace to the United Nations.
The role of education for peace and development has faced unprecedented challenges because of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. While innovative means have been developed to deliver education through virtual means, the lack of internet connectivity and technology in some parts of the world make the task extremely difficult, if not impossible.
The theme of the 2022 International Day of Education, "Changing Course, Transforming Education", thus alerts us to the challenges and the need to devise means for delivering education.
