The Congregation for Catholic Education announces that the
Global Compact on Education will take place from 11-18 October 2020. The event
had originally been scheduled for May 2020.
By Vatican News
The Global Compact on Education, an event promoted by Pope
Francis “to revive commitment to and with the younger generations”, has been
postponed from 10-17 May to 11-18 October 2020.
The decision to reschedule the event was taken in light of
the “uncertainty linked to the spread of Coronavirus, along with the decisions
taken by public authorities on a global scale”, according to a press release
from the Congregation for Catholic Education, which has been entrusted with
task of organizing the event.
“The Global Pact is not limited to educational and academic
institutions but rather, in the belief that commitment to education must be
shared by all, involves representatives of religions, international bodies and
the various humanitarian institutions, of the academic, economic, political and
cultural world”, the Congregation said.
“From this perspective”, the statement continues, “it can be
understood that the broader and more varied participation desired by Pope
Francis is not an additional dimension to the Global Compact on Education but
rather constitutes at the same time the premise and purpose of such an
alliance”.
