Our Vision
Since wars begin in the minds of men and women, it is in the minds of men and women that peace must be built. UNESCO uses education, science, culture, communication, and information to foster mutual understanding and respect for our planet. We work to strengthen the intellectual and moral solidarity of humankind and bring out the best in our shared humanity.
Our mission since 1945 is to build peace through international cooperation as it is the only way to build bridges between nations. Therefore, as a laboratory of ideas, UNESCO seeks to offer a broad range of expertise in the fields of Education, the Sciences, and Culture.
Education transforms lives
UNESCO's task is to rethink and reimagine education for a sustainable future. The organization leads and coordinates the Education 2030 agenda through partnerships, monitoring, and research. Our experts support countries in developing education systems that provide quality lifelong learning opportunities for all and empower learners to be creative and responsible global citizens.
- Reimagining education
UNESCO anticipates and responds to emerging trends and needs in education, as seen in its ground-breaking Futures of Education report, a global initiative to rethink how learning can shape the future of humanity and the planet.
- Designing policies
UNESCO works with countries to design, implement, and share successful education policies, plans, and best practices based on data collection, monitoring, and dialogue with national authorities.
- Standard-setting
UNESCO develops and monitors legal frameworks and normative instruments to ensure the right to education. These include the Convention Against Discrimination in Education, the recent landmark Global Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications in Higher Education, and an online monitor, Her Atlas, measuring the status of national legal frameworks related to girls and women’s education.
- Catalyzing for international cooperation
UNESCO uses its convening power for international cooperation by promoting dialogue, exchange, and partnership among the global education community, including civil society and youth. This includes global conferences exploring areas such as early childhood care and education (2022), higher education (2022), adult learning (2022), and education for sustainable development (2021) that set the agenda for the decade ahead.
- Capacity-building
UNESCO provides technical advice and support to develop the institutional and human capacity of countries to achieve their education goals. This includes training of education practitioners and officers in multiple fields, including educational planning, curriculum design, data collection, and distance learning.
