This year’s observance of the International Day of Families focused on the role of families and family oriented policies in promoting education and overall well being of their members. In particular, the Day raised awareness of the role of families in promoting early childhood education and lifelong learning opportunities for children and youth.
Consequently, the observance also highlighted the importance of parental education for the welfare of children, as developing parental skills have an often untapped potential to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goal no. 4: “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.”
