EDU Officials declared safe in Brussels Terror Attacks
22nd March 2016 - Brussels - Belgium
Making a solemn statement regarding the latest terror attacks in Brussels, H.E. Irving Levance the Secretary-General of EDU expressed some relief in knowing all EDU Officials have been accounted for unharmed.
​
"I am deeply saddened by the recent events unfolding in the heart of Europe, our beautiful and peaceful city of Brussels.
​
My thoughts and prayers are with those and the families of those killed and harmed in these horrible terrorist attacks.
​
As a matter of security, all EDU Officials and Employees are requested to cancel all non-essential travel and remain extra vigilant until such time as the security services have analysed the current situation.
​
At EDU, we believe Education to be the most effective tool in combating radicalism at source, before it has the chance to flourish into innocent and impressionable young minds.
​
Therefore, in 2016, our efforts lobbying the European Parliament for increased funding into Education in developing countries and at-risk communities must be doubled".
​
H.E. Irving Levance EDU Secretary-General
