Why 24 hours for Change in Education?

Education is constantly evolving, and the need for improvement is perpetual. For too long, many traditional school systems have remained rooted in outdated paradigms, sometimes even hindering student potential.
Do you, as an educator, feel constrained by an irrelevant curriculum, or that learning has been reduced to rote memorization for exams? Perhaps you believe that education has failed to keep pace with a rapidly changing world, leaving students unprepared for the future they will inherit.


24h for Change in Education is a global movement dedicated to showcasing innovation and inspiring progress. On November 20th, 2025, World Children´s Day, we will highlight what schools, teachers, and students worldwide are actively doing to transform education.

Despite a broad consensus among educators about the necessity of change and a shared vision for the “school of the future,” many teachers and schools often feel powerless to innovate. Current systems can be rigid, burdened by constraints, and resistant to shifting established norms. Changing what has always been done can seem daunting.is possible and that’s why we’d like to invite you to share any examples of innovative practices in your school or classroom. Together, it’s possible!

But change is possible, and it’s happening now!
That’s why we invite you to share your examples of innovative practices in your school or classroom. Together, we can make a difference.
