QNET, a global leader in lifestyle and wellness-focused direct selling, marked the UNESCO International Day of Education 2025 by advancing access to education for learners worldwide through its innovative e-learning platform, QLearn. This year’s theme, “AI and Education: Preserving Human Agency in an Automated World,” underscores the importance of empowering individuals to thrive in an AI-driven future.

Highlighting the urgency of preparing for this shift, the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 projects a net gain of 78 million jobs globally by 2030 due to advancements in technology and the green economy. However, the report emphasizes the need for significant educational reforms and reskilling to address the skills gap created by AI’s rapid integration into industries. In response, QNET’s QLearn platform provides a broad array of accessible e-learning opportunities, ranging from K-12 education to professional development, equipping learners with the knowledge and skills required to succeed in an automated world.

Biram Fall, QNET’s Regional General Manager for Sub-Saharan Africa, highlighted the importance of adaptability in education: “In today’s fast-evolving technological landscape, education is more important than ever. As AI reshapes industries, fostering adaptability through innovative learning is crucial. Through QLearn, QNET is committed to providing quality education and empowering individuals to shape their futures.”

QNET’s educational initiatives extend beyond QLearn, including its financial literacy program, FinGreen, and partnerships like the EDUFOOD program with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative (LFBI) in Nigeria. Through EDUFOOD, QNET has delivered nutritious meals to over 1,000 underserved students, enhancing attendance and academic performance. By leveraging digital tools and AI’s transformative potential, QNET remains dedicated to bridging educational gaps, fostering equity, and ensuring communities thrive in an increasingly automated world.
