What should education look like beyond 2030?

UNESCO in partnership with @ChulalongkornU hosted the first Asia-Pacific Youth Dialogue on the Future of Education & Learning beyond 2030. From AI & mental health to climate action, youth shared bold ideas for the future of education.

It was a pleasure to welcome the Prime Minister of Thailand, Anutin Charnvirakul, to UNESCO today, following our exchange in Thailand last week.

We continued our discussions on strengthening cooperation between @UNESCO and Thailand, in line with our shared priorities in education, ethical AI, culture, and sustainable tourism.

UNESCO looks forward to advancing this important partnership. #ForThePeople

In Tokyo for my first official mission to Japan as Director-General of @UNESCO, attending the @UN System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) Spring Session, the first ever held in Asia and the Pacific, chaired by the UN Secretary-General, @antonioguterres.

At a time when the world needs unity of purpose and collective action, this gathering is a reminder of what the @UN system must achieve by stronger synergies and more effective delivery.

UNESCO will continue to bring its mandate to the heart of multilateral action: building peace through education, science, culture, communication and information. #ForThePeople

My visit to Thailand reaffirmed the breadth of #UNESCO’s nearly eight-decade partnership with the country, and the shared ambition that continues to guide it.

In Bangkok, a UNESCO Creative City of Design and UNESCO Learning City, I was deeply honoured to be received by HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador since 2005. Her Royal Highness’s dedication to education and cultural diversity continues to inspire UNESCO’s work.

I was grateful to meet Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and reaffirm UNESCO’s commitment to working hand in hand with Thailand across our mandate, from inclusive education to ethical artificial intelligence, culture, science and the environment.

I also had the pleasure of meeting the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Education, Natural Resources and Environment, and Culture, to advance our shared priorities and turn them into concrete action and meaningful results.

At Wat Pho, I saw culture in its most human form: memory, education and knowledge serving people every day. Its inscriptions, listed on UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register, and its role in transmitting Nuad Thai, traditional Thai massage, inscribed as Intangible Cultural Heritage, remind us that knowledge must remain alive and accessible to all.

What inspired me most was meeting young people from across Asia and the Pacific at Chulalongkorn University. Their ideas were courageous, grounded and shaped by real experience. They are not waiting for transformation. They are already driving it.

From the renewal of UNESCO’s partnership with the Equitable Education Fund to exchanges with the UN family, UNESCO colleagues and private sector leaders, this visit was about one goal: delivering lasting impact for people and communities. #ForThePeople
