“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
This quote by Nelson Mandela speaks about everything that education means. On the 3rd year of International Education Day, let us discuss what education truly means and dive into three fun and engaging educational activities for your kids!
In the year 2019, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared January 24th as the International Education Day. This day is also celebrated as the National Girl Child Day in India.
In the last one year, we have all come to terms with the fact that education does not remain confined to the four walls of a classroom. With online learning taking the baton for imparting education on a global level, it’s time we understood and laid emphasis on the very meaning of the term “education.” Education is about celebrating knowledge, learning, innovation and problem-solving in the most creative and practical way possible. For years, we had intertwined the terms ‘literacy’ and ‘education’. It is high time we put a line of division between the two.
Textbooks and other study materials are tools of education and not education itself. Look around yourself. How many things and real-life situations can you think of which taught you something valuable? There sure are plenty! Until and unless you apply your knowledge gained in real-time, you will not be able to understand what that knowledge truly means. According to Swami Vivekananda, the aim of education is “the development of a strong moral character and not merely the feeding of information to the brain.” Indeed, a good education has the power to decide what kind of a person we grow up to be tomorrow.
Taking the theme to “recover and revitalize education”, UNESCO is all set to celebrate the international education day on 24th Januray. COVID-19 hit the global educational sector in ways that require immediate recovery. UNESCO wishes to emphasize the idea of collaborative learning and international unity to power the educational vehicle in full force!
Parents of toddlers are always searching for activities that will not only keep their child engaged but will also educate them about things in and out of their school syllabus. 24th January marks the 3rd year of International Day of Education and we have three such educational activities for your little tot that you must try to engage them in!
Education is probably the best gift of a lifetime that you can give your children! Do not miss out on any opportunity that has the capacity to educate your little ones in any way possible.
Happy International Education Day!
