Goal: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Education for all has always been an integral part of the sustainable development agenda. The World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in 2002 adopted the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI) which in its Section X, reaffirmed both the Millennium Development Goal 2 in achieving universal primary education…

Education for Transformation
Human suffering is growing around the planet, due to the obsolete social structures that cannot cope with the towering and intertwining crises of climate change, millions of people turned into refugees, the waves of pandemic, galloping inequalities, the loss of meaning, work done as just a means of survival… and the list goes on.
Education prepares students for their future, but it is increasingly difficult to understand what this means in a world in constant change. To remain relevant, education systems must ground themselves in robust evidence while using imagination to innovate and future-proof their strategies.

Education in the 21st Century – Student Centered Learning
The framework offers a broad vision of what students will need to thrive in 2030 and beyond, e.g. student agency, student well-being, and the types of competencies (knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values). It is globally informed, to be locally contextualized.
The metaphor of a learning compass was adopted to emphasizes the need for students to learn to navigate by themselves through unfamiliar contexts, and find their direction in a meaningful and responsible way, instead of simply receiving fixed instructions or directions from their teachers.

Systems Convening
Many challenges today require learning that brings people together across different practices, different institutions, different goals, different cultures, different loyalties. Fostering social learning across social landscapes with such entrenched boundaries requires a certain kind of leadership, which we have called systems convening.

Locally Driven, Network-Supported Systems Change
Neither top-down nor bottom-up leadership is adequate for solving complex social challenges. We need to combine the strengths of both.
Traditionally, there have been two ways of leading a social organization: either a handful of powerful individuals, groups, or organizations dictate an organization’s course, or those who have proximity to the social problem and its solution lead the way.
