New Unesco Education Report Calls For New Social Contract
The organisation proposes solutions to these three critical concerns in its new worldwide study, Reimagining our Futures Together: A New Social Contract for Education, which was released on Thursday.
The study, which calls for a significant change to heal past injustices and increase the capacity to act together for a more sustainable and just future, was shaped by a worldwide consultation process in which over a million people took part.
UNESCO hopes that the book, which took two years to complete, will spark a worldwide debate and movement, resulting in a new contract between parents, children, and educators throughout the world.
According to the organisation, the world is at a crossroads, and worldwide imbalances imply that education has failed to deliver on its promise of assisting in the formation of peaceful, just, and sustainable futures.
High living standards coexist with wide inequities, and "the fabric of civil society and democracy is unravelling in many areas throughout the world," despite the fact that the public square is mostly active.
Rapid technological progress is reshaping lives, according to UNESCO, but these advances are "insufficiently focused towards fairness, inclusion, and democratic involvement."
"That is why, according to the study, we must redefine education."
