Education Systems: The engine of transformation
All governing instruments recognise that the attainment of sustainable, inclusive development depends on the realisation of the right to quality education for all, especially the most vulnerable children. Treaties and development instruments recognise education as having a fundamentally transformative purpose: to prepare all children to be active agents of social, economic and political prosperity, peace and stability. Building human capital for sustainable development requires that every child access and receive quality education for agency.
To summarise: Education systems must fulfil their role as engines of sustainable development by addressing barriers that exclude marginalised and vulnerable children, and delivering 21st century education that develops all children’s agency to fulfil their civic responsibilities to overcome challenges to inclusive, sustainable development.
Instruments mandating universal education for agency • AU Agenda 2063 • AU Agenda 2040: Africa universal education for The sustainable development goals (SDGs) • The Southern African Development Community (SADC) Policy Framework on Care and Support for Teaching and Learning (CSTL) • The African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) • The United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) |
