Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress… — Kofi Annan | Printable Wall Art

Words by Kofi Annan (1938-2018) — Seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations.

About this quote

This quotation expands on the classic principle that knowledge brings power, emphasising that access to information sets people free. Annan argues that learning is not merely a personal benefit, but the fundamental requirement for any society or family to move forward. Without education, social advancement remains out of reach, making learning the essential foundation of all meaningful human progress.

Kofi Annan, the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations, delivered this line during his tenure leading global diplomacy. It reflects his commitment to human rights, literacy, and international development as pathways to lasting peace.
