Organized by UNESCO and the UN Group of Friends for Education and Lifelong Learning, the International Day of Education 2025 will delve into the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in reshaping education and learning. The event will spotlight the dynamic interplay between AI and education—how AI technologies are revolutionizing teaching and learning practices, while education, in turn, serves as a guiding force to ensure that AI is ethical, inclusive, and aligned with human values. More particularly, the event aims to:

• Encourage reimagining education in an age of AI and welcome new and improved possibilities for teaching, learning, school environments, curriculum, educational organization and assessment. 
• Promote critical AI literacies by discussing how educators and learners can be empowered with the competencies needed to understand, assess and influence AI technologies, in line with the guidance contained in the UNESCO AI Competency Frameworks for Teachers and Students. 
• Advocate for a human-centered approach to AI integration in education, i.e. an approach that prioritizes human control, transparency, and accountability in AI design and deployment, while ensuring it serves to expand human capabilities, uphold human dignity and agency, and promote justice and sustainability throughout its entire life cycle. 
• Ensure that AI complements, rather than replaces, the essential human elements of learning, including the cultivation of in-person relationships and emotional intelligence.
