Our Common Agenda Policy Brief 10: Transforming Education

The right to education and lifelong learning is at the very heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development because education, knowledge and learning are central to the dignity, growth and development of the individual. For centuries, education has been the great equalizer, a driving force of nation-building, and the engine of social, cultural, economic and technological progress. Today, however, beset by twin crises of equity and relevance, education as we know it is no longer fit for purpose.

Réclamer l'éducation publique pour toutes et tous

Dans un monde en proie à la fragmentation sociale, aux inégalités dommageables et à la détérioration de l'environnement, nous avons besoin plus que jamais d'une éducation publique de qualité, transformatrice et inclusive. Alors que nos systèmes politiques s'efforcent de résister à l'autocratie tout en promouvant la démocratie, l'éducation publique gratuite peut contribuer à former des populations bien informées, capables de relever ces défis mondiaux.

Le public soutient l'éducation publique, et l'éducation publique fonctionne.

Recuperar la educación pública para todas y todos

En un mundo que se enfrenta a la fragmentación social, a las desigualdades perjudiciales y al deterioro del medio ambiente, necesitamos ahora, más que nunca, una educación pública de calidad, transformadora e integradora. Mientras nuestros sistemas políticos luchan por resistir a la autocracia y fomentar la democracia, la educación pública y gratuita puede ayudar a crear un público bien informado con capacidad para abordar estos retos mundiales.

El público apoya a la educación pública, y la educación pública funciona.

Reclaiming Public Education for All

In a world facing social fragmentation, harmful inequities, and environmental deterioration, we need quality, transformative, inclusive public education now more than ever. As our political systems struggle to resist autocracy and to foster democracy, free public education can help create a well-informed public with the capacity to address these global challenges.

The public supports public education, and public education works.
