Quality Education de Walter Leal Filho

Quality Education: Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Editat de Walter Leal Filho, Anabela Marisa Azul, Luciana Brandli, Pinar Gökcin Özuyar, Tony Wall
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 mar 2020

Evoluția sistemelor educaționale globale a trecut de la simpla alfabetizare la un model complex de sustenabilitate, reflectând necesitatea unor soluții integrate pentru provocările industrializării și schimbărilor climatice. Suntem de părere că Quality Education reprezintă o resursă academică fundamentală care documentează această tranziție, fiind dedicată exclusiv Obiectivului de Dezvoltare Durabilă 4 (SDG 4) al ONU. Lucrarea analizează riguros mecanismele prin care educația poate deveni incluzivă și echitabilă, oferind oportunități de învățare pe tot parcursul vieții.

Comparabil cu Education Around the Globe de Tonya Huber în rigurozitatea analizei politicilor internaționale, acest volum se distinge prin ancorarea strictă în țintele Agendei 2030, oferind o actualizare esențială pentru contextul socio-economic post-2016. Notăm cu interes modul în care lucrarea este poziționată în cadrul vastei opere a lui Walter Leal Filho, completând viziunea sa sistemică începută în Handbook of Sustainability Science in the Future și Competence Building in Sustainable Development. Dacă lucrările anterioare se concentrau pe competențe generale și știința sustenabilității, volumul de față detaliază infrastructura educațională necesară pentru atingerea acestor idealuri.

Structura cărții urmărește fidel progresia obiectivelor ONU: de la asigurarea învățământului primar și secundar de calitate pentru toți copiii, până la accesul egal al adulților la formare tehnică și universitară. Cuprinsul relevă o acoperire exhaustivă, incluzând teme critice precum alfabetizarea funcțională, educația pentru cetățenie globală și necesitatea creșterii numărului de profesori calificați, în special în statele în curs de dezvoltare. Este o lucrare de referință ce transformă obiectivele politice în parametri de cercetare clar definiți.

Descriere scurtă

The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as biodiversity depletion, climate change and a worsening of health and living conditions, especially but not only in developing countries, intensify. Therefore, there is an increasing need to search for integrated solutions to make development more sustainable. The United Nations has acknowledged the problem and approved the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. On 1st January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda officially came into force. These goals cover the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.  
The Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals comprehensively addresses the SDGs in an integrated way. It encompasses 17 volumes, each devoted to one of the 17 SDGs. This volume addresses SDG 4, namely "Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all" and contains the description of a range of terms, to allow a better understanding and foster knowledge.
Concretely, the defined targets are:
  • Ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes
  • Ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development, care and pre-primary education so that they are ready for primary education
  • Ensure equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education, including university
  • Substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship
  • Eliminate gender disparities in education and ensure equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for the vulnerable,including persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples and children in vulnerable situations
  • Ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults, both men and women, achieve literacy and numeracy
  • Ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development
  • Build and upgrade education facilities that are child, disability and gender sensitive and provide safe, non-violent, inclusive and effective learning environments for all
  • Substantially expand globally the number of scholarships available to developing countries, in particular least developed countries, small island developing states and African countries, for enrollment in higher education, including vocational training and information and communications technology, technical, engineering and scientific programmes, in developed countries and other developing countries
  • Substantially increase the supply of qualified teachers, including through international cooperation for teacher training in developing countries, especially least developed countries and small island developing states
