Empowering Education in the Age of AI: Celebrating the International Day of Education 2025

Education is the foundation of human progress, shaping individuals and societies to tackle today's and tomorrow's challenges. As we celebrate the International Day of Education 2025, we are reminded of the profound value of education, not just as a tool for personal and professional growth but as the most precious and transformative part of human life. It equips individuals with the knowledge, skills, and empathy needed to create a more inclusive and sustainable world.

At IVECA, this belief is at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to bring students and educators from all over the world together through virtual exchange programs. This year’s International Day of Education holds great significance with UNESCO’s event at the UN Headquarters in New York, themed “Artificial Intelligence and Education: Challenges and Opportunities.” The event explored how AI is changing education, highlighting its potential to improve teaching and learning while raising important questions about ethics, human connection, and responsibility. It reminded us that as powerful as AI may be, the human touch and our ability to connect, empathize, and think critically must remain at the center of education.

The panel underscored the urgent need to equip both educators and learners with AI competencies, as outlined in UNESCO’s AI competency frameworks. These frameworks stress the importance of balancing technical proficiency with ethical awareness and critical thinking, ensuring that AI is used responsibly and inclusively. As a panelist in this global event, IVECA’s founder contributed her expertise in leveraging technology to enhance global citizenship and intercultural understanding. To secure a bright future for humanity, she emphasized that education in the age of AI must prepare teachers to integrate global citizenship education alongside AI competencies across curricula, noting, "Global citizenship is about being responsible, forever, for the world we share."

For our team here at IVECA, education is more than a pathway to knowledge, it's a way to connect hearts and minds. The International Day of Education provides a powerful reminder of what we can achieve together when we prioritize learning, understanding, and humanity in everything we do.
