History

The first Education Freedom Day was observed on January 17, 2013. The date, however, had to later be changed due to incompatibilities with local holidays such as Chinese New Year and summer holidays when schools are closed. Presently it is observed in March. In 2016, EFD was observed on March 21.

Event organization is handled by DFF and volunteers around the world. Volunteers are encouraged to organize events that benefit local educational communities.
