Education is about equality. In poor countries or regions, the number of school dropouts is astonishing. We call for more educational resources to these places.
Education is about the young people. Young people are the future. Education is important because it not only gives young people knowledge and skills, but also helps them become responsible citizens. As the UNESCO special envoy and a mother myself, my commitment to education for all will never change.
Many years ago my father made a small difference in his village. Together we can make a big difference in the world. I was once asked about my Chinese dream. I said, "I hope all children especially girls can have access to good education. This is my Chinese dream." I believe one day education first will no longer be a dream, it will be a reality enjoyed by every young woman on this planet.
Thank you very much.
