Paris, Oct. 10, GNA – President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has charged Member States of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) to ensure that education remained a priority in the common development agenda of countries.
He urged UNESCO members to work towards developing sustainable homegrown financial solutions, “so we can develop the educational system for the future we want in our various countries.”
The President made the call on Monday when he addressed the 215th Meeting of the Executive Board of UNESCO in Paris, France.
He noted that the world does not have the luxury to pick and choose which crises to fix.
“At this moment, we cannot pick and choose between funding guns and education.
“We cannot pick and choose between the interests of the present generation and the future of our girls and boys. We cannot choose geopolitical concerns over preserving our cherished cultural heritages, lest we perish universally,” he said.
