Jomtien Conference

The Jomtien Conference, held in 1990 in Thailand, was a global gathering focused on improving education worldwide. It aimed to promote inclusive, accessible, and equitable quality education for all, emphasizing lifelong learning opportunities. The conference highlighted the importance of education in reducing poverty, promoting development, and fostering peace.
