- International Students' Day 2024 is celebrated on November 17, with the purpose of honoring students' rights, the importance of education, and the global contributions made by students.
- History of International Students' Day:
- International Students' Day has its roots in a significant historical event that occurred in 1939. On November 17, 1939, students in Czechoslovakia rose up against Nazi rule, protesting the oppression and control over their education and freedom.
- In response to the students' protests, Nazi authorities arrested many students and some were killed. This tragic event became a symbol of the fight for students' rights and freedom of expression, which is why November 17 was chosen as the day to commemorate the courage and sacrifice of those students.
- The day was then established as International Students' Day to highlight the importance of student movements, the struggle for educational rights, and the need for student activism in the face of oppression.
