JINAN, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) — The 20th UNESCO Confucius Prize for Education was awarded on Saturday in Qufu, east China's Shandong Province, the birthplace of the great thinker and philosopher Confucius (551-479 BC). Projects from Bangladesh, Ireland, and Morocco were recognized for their contributions to innovation in education.
The winners included the Bangladeshi NGO Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha for its Solar-Powered Floating Schools programme, the National Adult Literacy Agency of Ireland (NALA) for its online platform Learn with NALA e-learning platform, and the Department of Second Chance Schools and Inclusive Education of the Ministry of National Education, Early Childhood Education and Sports of Morocco for its initiative Second Chance Schools and Inclusive Education.
Established in 2005, the UNESCO Confucius Prize for Education is the first international award in the UNESCO system named after a Chinese figure. It is awarded for outstanding achievements in education, particularly in rural literacy and women's and children's education. The prize reflects Confucius's enduring philosophy of education.
Over the past two decades, the prize has been awarded to 57 projects from 36 countries, including South Africa, Spain, and Pakistan, benefiting more than a million people, including women, out-of-school youth, and the rural poor. This has contributed to global education equity and the advancement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals for quality education.
