Trailblazing Women in Education

International Day of Education is celebrated annually on January 24, in order to remind the world of the important role education plays in the achievement of peace and development. This year’s theme is “to invest in people, prioritise education”.

In light of that, it seems fitting to go back in time and look at a few trailblazing female educators.

The fifth edition of International Day of Education is marked in 2 2 and UNESCO has dedicated it to all girls and women in Afghanistan, who have been denied their human right to education.
