Abstract

[Our instructional system of education may be in need of changes if we are to meet the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) deadline set by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO 2016). According to the UNESCO Director-General, Irina Bokova:A fundamental change is needed in the way we think about education’s role in global development, because it has a catalytic impact on the well-being of individuals and the future of our planet… Now, more than ever, education has a responsibility to be in gear with twenty-first century challenges and aspirations, and foster the right types of values and skills that will lead to sustainable and inclusive growth, and peaceful living together.]
