Education Sunday is observed in the UK on every second Sunday of September as an annual ecumenical event organized by various churches. This day serves as a nationwide occasion for prayer focused on everyone involved in education, including students and education employees. Originally held on the ninth Sunday before Easter, it was moved in 2016 to align with the start of the school year. The event is promoted by a steering group that includes representatives from eight denominations and organizations, such as the Catholic Church, the Church of England National Society, and the Methodist Church of Great Britain. Each year, a new theme is announced, along with relevant Bible passages and resources for discussion. Congregations are encouraged to creatively plan their observances, which may include inviting college graduates to share their experiences, praying for students, or organizing community events to foster collaboration between churches and schools.
