"Education is the point at which we decide whether we love the world enough to assume responsibility for it," said Hannah Arendt, whose timeless words set the tone for the 2025 International Day of Education webinar hosted by the UNESCO Regional Office for Southern Africa (UNESCO ROSA). Held on 24 January 2025 under the theme, <em>"Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Education: Preserving Human Agency in a World of Automation,"</em> the webinar provided a platform for learners from nine Southern African countries to voice their perspectives on the intersection of AI and education.
