    • The Eminent Personalities in the service of UNESCO resolutely support UNESCO’s response to the Haiti disaster

    13-04-2010 11:00 pm A devastating earthquake hit Haiti on Tuesday 12 January 2010. Several thousand pupils and teachers were killed in this disaster that left 15.000 primary and 1.500 secondary schools destroyed or severely damaged. UNESCO’s response to the devastating impact of the Haiti earthquake became an immediate priority. In such situations, the need for education, culture and information is vital and UNESCO, the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization, mobilized its expertise in order to help Haitian society with its long-term reconstruction.80286803smaller.jpg
