Tue Jan 21 22:50:10 IST 2025: ## World to Focus on AI’s Impact on Education for 2025 International Day of Education

**NEW YORK, NY** – The seventh annual International Day of Education, celebrated globally on January 24th, will focus on the crucial intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and education. This year’s theme, “AI and Education: Preserving Human Agency in a World of Automation,” highlights the need for education systems to adapt to and shape the rapid advancements in AI technology.

Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2018, the International Day of Education underscores the vital role of education in fostering peace, development, and the achievement of global goals, particularly Sustainable Development Goal 4 (quality education). The initiative, spearheaded by UNESCO and supported by numerous countries including Nigeria, emphasizes the importance of equitable access to high-quality education for all.

This year’s theme directly addresses the blurring lines between human intention and AI-driven actions. Experts and educators will explore how education can equip individuals with the skills and understanding necessary to navigate this evolving landscape and ensure human agency remains central in an increasingly automated world. The day serves as a call to action for governments, organizations, businesses, and individuals to collaborate in making education accessible and relevant for all.
