Sustainable develop
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Sustainability is the foundation for today’s leading global framework for international cooperation—the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Enabling education promotes sustainable growth through many ways, including
Education plays a vital role in promoting awareness of environmental and sustainable development issues by integrating sustainability concepts into educational curricula, encouraging scientific and procedural research, and holding seminars and workshops in this field.
Education contributes to building a qualified and specialized workforce that meets the changing needs of the labour market by providing skills and knowledge in line with the needs of the modern economy and contributing to the promotion of economic growth and sustainable development.
Education is a long-term economic investment
The measure of development is the proportion, quality and level of education. This includes the development of human resources, i.e. increasing the knowledge, skills and capacities of all members of society and effectively investing them in the development of the economic system.
Education is one of the main factors affecting the employment and income opportunities of individuals in society as they will have better chances of getting a good job that provides a stable income. Thus, education can reduce society’s level of poverty.
Al-Rakeezeh in support of education
The Al-Rakeezeh Relief and Development Foundation aims to enhance the situation of students and schools in Iraq. The “Back to School” campaign, supported by UNESCO, focuses on primary education children from orphan and vulnerable families across various Iraqi governorates. By providing a school kit for each student, the campaign alleviates the economic burden on these families and ensures access to quality and inclusive education.
Additionally, Al-Rakeezeh offers courses, workshops, and incentive programs to foster students’ growth and skills development in various fields, promoting youth engagement and participation.
Ultimately, education plays a crucial role in building a strong and sustainable society, guiding it towards a path of sustainable development.
