Secretary-General Donates School Textbook to UNESCO Exhibit
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon points to the caption box beside his 1956 school textbook, on display at the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Open exhibition in Paris. When Mr. Ban was a boy, after the war in his native Republic of Korea, UNESCO printed national textbooks as part of reconstruction and education efforts. Written in the caption box is a quote from Mr. Ban: “When I am asked as Secretary-General the secret of my country’s economic development and political maturity in a short period, my answer is simple – it is education.”
