Education Council

       
 

Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. As a committee, the ultimate goal we aim to achieve is to promote the highest level of inclusivity across all forms and sectors of education. As we progress through committee sessions, delegates must ensure that all decisions and debate are centred around this goal. Our plan of action is to collaborate with countries and educational corporations so as to develop solutions to enhance inclusivity in education- whether that's in terms of race, ethnicity, sex, age, or any other background that a person may possess- and promote its importance in all countries. By doing so, we target collectively coming to a satisfactory position in terms of attaining the UN's Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, with our committee's emphasis on SDG4- Quality Education.

The primary agenda of the Education Council is 'Endorsing Inclusive Educational Opportunities'- with the principal aim of extending the scope of opportunity to as many groups in society as far as education is concerned, the committee will traverse various different educational situations in different countries. The importance of education in our lives goes far beyond what we can read in a textbook; it is one of the most powerful tools out there that can help us in stabilizing our lives, expanding our knowledge, ensuring financial security, boosting equality, encouraging self-dependency, and so on. However, while some view education as a necessity, to others, it is an unattainable privilege. Constant exclusion on numerous grounds also constantly pushes certain groups of society to remain backward on many counts.

In a number of countries, women continue to face far too many disadvantages in procuring even a basic level of education. They are forced to either drop out of school, or never receive an education in the first place, and are instead resigned to labor or marriage at any early age. In countries with immense ethnic conflict, minority ethnic groups may be banned from gaining an education or may simply not have the means to do so. There may also be economic constraints holding these persons back from educating themselves. The financially backward parts of society suffer major hardship in obtaining an education, which brings to light the importance of deconstructing class-based inequality. Overall, there are innumerable obstacles that hinder educational growth and prospects for minority groups and vulnerable sectors of society worldwide.

When we say we aim to promote inclusivity, we are implying that we aim to work together to develop sustainable solutions that guarantee educational opportunities are accessible as much as possible to these groups that struggle to obtain it regularly. Delegates must ponder in-depth how each obstruction can be broken down carefully, and how several scenarios in many countries can be ameliorated so as to bring everyone a step closer to achieving necessary and quality education. We intend to consider the cases of India, of Yemen, of China, of Afghanistan, of the African continent, and of various other nations so that can work efficiently towards developing lasting and well-structured educational systems around the globe.
