This open access book explores the key dimensions of a future
education system designed to enable individuals, schools, and
communities to achieve the twin twenty-first century challenges of
sustainability and human well-being. For much of the twentieth
century, Western education systems prepared students to enter the
workforce, contribute to society and succeed in relatively
predictable contexts. Today, people are at the controls of the
planet-making decisions that are dramatically reshaping social,
economic, and environmental systems at a global scale. What is
education's purpose in this new reality? What and how must we learn
now? The volatility and uncertainty caused by digitalization,
globalization, and climate change weave a common backdrop through
each chapter. Using case studies drawn from Finland and the US,
chapter authors explore various aspects of learning and education
system design through the lenses of sustainability and human
well-being to evaluate how our understanding and practice of
education must transform. Using their scholarly research and
experience as practitioners, the authors propose new approaches to
preparing learners for a new frontier of the human experience
fraught with risks but full of opportunity.
