Valerie Chairs Westminster Hall Debate on International Day of Education

On 22 January 2026 as a member of the Panel of Chairs,  I chaired the debate:

“That this House has considered the International Day of Education.” The debate was moved by Bambous Charalmbous MP, and the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Stephen Doughty MP responded.

The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 24 January as the International Day of Education in 2018 as part of its “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”.
