Building a Future of Equality: Recognising the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
At Ultra Education, we believe in education’s capacity to change lives and contribute to a more equitable society. This is why we align ourselves with the global community to commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on 21st March. This day acts as a significant reminder of the continuous fight against racism and the vital need to create a world where every individual is treated with dignity and respect.

Understanding the Importance
Racial discrimination remains a significant concern, hindering opportunities and sustaining inequality. The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination commemorates the anniversary of the tragic Sharpeville incident in South Africa in 1960, where peaceful demonstrators opposing apartheid lost their lives. This day invites us to reflect on our history, recognise the ongoing challenges we face, and renew our commitment to building a future that is free from racism.
