#IYD2019: Transforming Education
The year 2019 Int'l Youth Day is on the need to commit efforts geared towards making education more relevant, more equitable and more inclusive for the youths and, very importantly, by youthful efforts.
With the topic "Transforming Education", the focus drives on the involvement of youths in education. It goes further to say that beyond having to be educated, the youths have got a role to play in the process itself.
Consequently, it is the effective participation of the youths that brings further the appreciable value of education. In committing themselves to the very process which they are beneficiaries, it's believed that the process would be rejigged. That's the basis of transforming education, which is the focal point for this year's IYD.
The youths are the future leaders, and we know very remarkably that it is not a far-flung destination; this future itself starts now. It is to say therefore that the essence of a transformed education would be for the good of the young people who are expected to take the saddle in the leadership of tomorrow.
Moreso, going by the express mandate of the sustainable development goals (SDG) 4: to ensure inclusive equitable and quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities, the effort to achieve this vision would be one to be spearheaded very committedly by the youths themselves.
The call for this year's International Youth Day is for youths and youth based institutions to take the centre stage, own the process and define the future that will embrace them by focusing on efforts that would transform education.
