The UN’s Sustainable Development Goal #4 focuses on inclusive,
quality education, galvanizing efforts for substantial educational
reform around the globe. Progress is being made but are the
initiatives being upscaled and mainstreamed rapidly enough? Has
caring become an essential aspect of learning? Have cooperative
learning and creativity been given enough attention? Are teachers
receiving sufficient support? These are some of the questions
raised by Victoria Thoresen as she considers the goals and
challenges iterated in the SDG. Thoresen argues that unless
implementation of the new definitions of inclusive, quality
education are prioritized everywhere, sustainable development will
be severely hampered and, conceivably, misdirected. She examines
the recent evolution of education in light of political and
commercial ambitions, technological advancements, and knowledge
creation and sharing. Key concerns relating to education for and
learning about sustainable development are identified and major
obstacles to achieving inclusive, quality education for all are
discussed.
