This UNESCO report by the International Commission on the Futures of Education acknowledges the power of education to bring about profound change. We face a dual challenge of making good on the unfulfilled promise to ensure the right to quality education for every child, young person and adult and fully realising the transformational potential of education as a route for sustainable collective futures. To do this, we need a new social contract for education that can repair injustices while transforming the future. This report, two years in the making and informed by a global consultation process engaging around one million people, invites governments, institutions, organisations and citizens around the world to forge a new social contract for education that will help us build peaceful, just, and sustainable futures for all. The visions, principles, and proposals presented here are merely a starting point. Translating and contextualizing them is a collective effort. Many bright spots already exist. This report attempts to capture and build on them. It is neither a manual nor a blueprint but the opening up of a vital conversation. Read the full report here.
