As the United Nations prepares to celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2025, voices from around the globe are shaping the conversation on our shared future. CGTN's "One Home: Shared Future" visual storytelling series is leading the charge, inviting young people worldwide to share their visions.
In a standout episode, Dinora Abdullaeva, a student from Uzbekistan, highlights both progress and persistent gaps in global education. "More young people now have access to online classes and digital libraries," she observes, "but access doesn't always mean quality." Dinora points to uneven resources, outdated materials, limited interactive tools, and connectivity challenges that leave many learners behind.
Dinora calls on the United Nations to ramp up investment in digital education, from modern e-learning platforms to teacher training programs. "If the UN channels more funding into digital classrooms and mobile learning apps," she says, "we can unlock the potential of millions of young changemakers."
As "One Home: Shared Future" gathers more stories like Dinora's, the message is clear: strategic investment in digital education can level the playing field. With its milestone anniversary on the horizon, the United Nations has a unique opportunity to fuel innovation and empower the next generation of global leaders.
