UNESCO Executive Council Chair on Education and Culture
UNESCO has emphasized that protecting education and culture, along with promoting dialogue, are fundamental pillars for building peace and strengthening understanding among peoples. The organization's Executive Council President clarified that peace does not begin after conflicts cease; rather, it is established in schools and requires safeguarding educational institutions from attacks, as such assaults threaten the future of generations. He also stressed that preserving culture and heritage reinforces the identities of peoples, and that defending freedom of expression and journalists contributes to defending the right to knowledge. In the context of institutional reforms, he emphasized the importance of enhancing the organization's capacity to implement its programs efficiently, addressing financial and operational challenges, and developing accountability and transparency mechanisms to increase its credibility and effectiveness in serving global goals.
