UNESCO Prize for Peace Education

The UNESCO Prize for Peace Education was awarded annually beginning 1981. The main goal of UNESCO education prize was to encourage excellent effort in the drive to reach a better quality education. The prize endowed up to US$60,000 and honored extraordinary activities for peace education in the spirit of the UNESCO constitution. The prize was phased out in 2013. The main objective of UNESCO, to contribute to peace and security in the world by promoting collaboration among the nations through education, science, culture and communication, remains as relevant and necessary as ever. Despite the many efforts made by peace-makers, war, terrorism, violence, crime, intolerance and strife continue to afflict humanity. A lasting peace, based on humanity’s intellectual and moral solidarity, is still far from being reached.
