International Education Inquiries is a book series dedicated to
realizing the global vision of The United Nations' (2015)
Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development. As resolved by the UN General Assembly (on 25
September 2015; see UN, 2015 October): The 17 Sustainable
Development Goals and 169 targets which we are announcing today
demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda.
They seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete
what they did not achieve. They seek to realize the human rights of
all and to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women
and girls. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the
three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social
and environmental. The United Nations' goals and targets will
stimulate action over the next decade in areas of critical
importance for humanity and the planet.... We are determined to end
poverty and hunger, in all their forms and dimensions, and to
ensure that all human beings can fulfil their potential in dignity
and equality and in a healthy environment. This vision includes to
"ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote
lifelong learning opportunities for all" (SDG4, UN, 2017). The
founding co-editors seek to provide a forum for the diverse voices
of scholars and practitioners from across the globe asking
questions about transforming the vision of Education 2030 into a
reality. Published chapters reflect a variety of formats, free of
methodological restrictions, involving disciplinary as well as
interdisciplinary inquiries. We expect the series will be a leading
forum for pioneers redefining the international professional
knowledge base about the people, places, and perspectives shaping
Education 2030 outcomes and the meaning of global citizen education
(UNESCO, 2015). Education 2030 topics of interest include, but are
not limited to the following: Improving access to quality early
childhood development, care, and pre-primary education. Ensuring
equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality
education. Increasing the number of youth and adults who have
skills relevant for sustainable living and livelihoods. Ensuring
equal access for the vulnerable, including persons with
disabilities, indigenous peoples, and children in vulnerable
situations. Achieving levels of literacy and numeracy required to
engage in communities and employment. Acquiring the knowledge and
skills needed to promote sustainable development, including:
education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles,
human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and
non-violence, global citizenship education, and the appreciation of
cultural diversity and of culture's contributions to sustainable
development. Providing safe, non-violent, inclusive and effective
learning environments for all. Recruiting, preparing, supporting,
and retaining quality teachers.
