This has not only inspired me, but also our community and all the people of Bangladesh. They will be very pleased to learn that local ideas and innovative achievements have been recognized. This will inspire us to expand our fleet and cover more communities in Bangladesh. He is a well-known social entrepreneur and community development promoter in Bangladesh. He is currently the founder and executive director of the non-governmental organization "Shidulai Self Reliance Organization" in Bangladesh. His "Solar Powered Mobile School" project is an award-winning project of this year. The "Shidulai Self Reliance Organization" was founded in 1998, providing education and training to marginalized communities in flood prone areas through courtyard style teaching conducted by female volunteers. Since 2002, the 'Solar Powered Mobile School' has served over 800000 learners through 58 floating classrooms, with 63% being women and girls. On September 27th, the 20th UNESCO Confucius Education Award ceremony was held in Qufu, Jining, Shandong. This year, the "Adult Education Online Learning Platform" project of the Irish National Adult Literacy Agency and the "Providing Second Inclusive Education for Children and Youth" project of the Moroccan Ministry of Education, Early Childhood Education and Sports Second Opportunity School and Inclusive Education Department were also awarded. In October 2005, the 33rd General Conference of UNESCO approved the establishment of the "UNESCO Confucius Prize for Education", becoming the first international award named after a Chinese person. It is mainly used to recognize government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and individuals who have made outstanding achievements in education, especially in rural education and literacy, and women's and children's education. Over the past 20 years, this award has adhered to the principles of fairness, impartiality, and openness in its selection process. It has awarded a total of 57 outstanding projects from 36 countries, including South Africa, Spain, and Pakistan. It not only recognizes the actions of the winners, but also calls on more countries and organizations to pay attention to the weak links in education and promote the tilt of global educational resources towards disadvantaged groups. Li Wensheng, a second level inspector of the Education Department of Shandong Province, introduced that as an important educational ideology of excellent traditional Chinese culture, "education without discrimination" has been successfully transformed into a global education action through the Confucius Education Award. From safeguarding the right to education for children in remote areas to assisting women in achieving self-development through education, it helps people of different genders, ages, races, and social backgrounds to obtain equal and high-quality learning opportunities, endowing individuals with the ability to change their destiny through education. The wisdom of Eastern education is blossoming and bearing fruit globally. Nowadays, the UNESCO Confucius Prize for Education has surpassed the scope of awarding and become an important bridge connecting practitioners in the global education field. By selecting outstanding educational practices from different countries and cultural backgrounds, this award is committed to disseminating replicable and promotable experiences. Liu Xubing, Vice President and Researcher of Confucius Institute, introduced that Confucius devoted his entire life to educational reform. His inclusive education philosophy of "education without discrimination" and "teaching according to aptitude" echoes the UNESCO's proposition of "everyone has the right to education" in contemporary times, and can transcend cultural differences, becoming a "common language" for global education cooperation. Stefania Giannini, Assistant Director General for Education at UNESCO, said that the Confucius Prize for Education specifically focuses on functional literacy. At present, there are still nearly 740 million teenagers and adults worldwide who do not have basic literacy skills, two-thirds of whom are women. This award-winning project once again reminds us that literacy has a lasting power for dignity, equality, and change. (New Society)
