This eAtlas presents the 29 global and thematic SDG 4 indicators identified by the Technical Cooperation Group on SDG 4-Education 2030 Indicators for reporting in 2017. It will be regularly updated as new information becomes available.
The globally adopted development agenda “Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” has established ambitious intentions that build on the past Millennium Development Goals but also expand on their achievements.
The Sustainable Development Goal 4 on education propels forward the vision of ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all through a holistic, aspirational and systematic education agenda. Education monitoring is an integral part in this process.
This handbook aims to be a basic informative guide for national and municipal government officers and those who work with community learning centres (CLCs) and other community organizations. Its purpose is to develop stronger partnerships to enhance community-based Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).
This publication was developed as a primer for youth on the green economy, particularly since there are no youth-friendly publications that explain this issue to youth. This publication enables youth to better familiarize themselves with the green economy and the skills needed for it, such as engaging in social innovation and green entrepreneurship.
This guidebook, Integrating Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in Teacher Education in South-East Asia, takes readers through a step-by-step action research approach to integrate ESD in teacher education programmes and practices. It is hoped that this guidebook will be a relevant resource for deans of education, curriculum developers and other teacher trainers/educators who can adapt it for use in local contexts.
This recently released UNESCO publication presents an overview of ESD and highlights key issues, trends, and challenges related to ESD policy and practice. Topics include key ESD competencies and themes, policy, changes in the learning environment, teacher training, youth as lead actors, scaling-up action, and the monitoring of progress towards SDG Target 4.7. It is aimed at providing policy-makers, educators, and other stakeholders with state-of-the-art analyses of ESD and associated issues.
Preparing Teachers for Global Citizenship Education: A Template is a response to a demand from teacher educators and teachers for practical information and tips on how they can embed Global Citizenship Education (GCED) into their teaching practices. This publication presents a conceptual framework for transformative education, illustrates the art of teaching GCED with examples of creative pedagogies, provides exemplars to demonstrate how GCED can be integrated into different subject areas, and refers readers to a rich list of resources.
Education is a fundamental right, and it is also the most powerful tool we have for sustainable development. Investing in a quality education for every child, youth and adult is essential - not only to achieve the education related goals and targets, but to realize the other sustainable development goals and targets.
Global Citizenship Education gives students the knowledge and skills they need to answer the big questions of the day, and to help forge more tolerant, peaceful and inclusive societies.
