Nutrition can be taught through practical activities\u2014linking science lessons to healthy food choices, or using school gardens as living classrooms. Mental health can be supported through simple daily practices such as mindfulness breaks, peer support groups, and open classroom discussions that normalize emotional wellbeing,\u201d she explained.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nichols examined how volunteerism can evolve into a strategic tool for equity, addressing socio-economic disparities in education. She noted, <em>\u201cGovernment services often have a reach limit due to budget or staffing constraints. More volunteers inside and outside schools can help address the non-academic pillars of development, including mental health, nutrition, and social stability.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summit\u2019s overarching theme, <em>\u201cRedefining Education as Global Infrastructure,\u201d<\/em> framed education as a cornerstone of resilience, equity, and sustainable development. Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s delegation demonstrated how small states can lead with clarity, coherence, and disciplined innovation, offering a compelling blueprint for global transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Antigua and Barbuda Permanent Mission to the United Nations coordinated the visit of the delegation with lead support undertaken by First Secretary Claxton Duberry
