The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been agreed globally as an unprecedented, ambitious and innovative agenda for prosperity and peace for people and the planet. Currently researchers, policymakers and nations are trying to identify clear routes for achieving these ambitious goals by 2030. This timely text examines how education policy provides a roadmap to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4, achieving inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. Taysum situates the SDGs, and the roadmap to achieving them, within a historical framework of established philosophy by drawing upon the ideas of the social contract, moral values and universal principles. As well as offering a theoretical understanding of these concepts, this research also offers practical solutions by demonstrating how university Vice Chancellors, Deans of Faculties and Schools of Education can work in partnership with the wider community in order to achieve the SDGs. Supported by a website and rich bank of practical resources, this book will prove invaluable for education leaders and those in the fields of higher education and moral philosophy.

This study is a Ground Work Case in Albania which aims to reveal how adults talking with children can build relationships between the adult and the children to support the children's appropriate development through the four phases of Bowlby's attachment theory. If trauma is experienced which is not the fault of the child or the preferred caregiver, the child can become stuck and unable to develop the mental models required to become self-determining and live a good life with the conditions for homeostasis (continued life) with good faculty of judgement. This has implications for adults who may have experience trauma, through no fault of their own, who have not passed through the phases of attachment theory, and are expected to support children through the phases of attachment theory with no working mental model of what that looks like. A groundwork case was conducted in a city in Albania with kindergarten staff and revealed i) the curriculum of kindergarten staff's qualification did include attachment theory, ii) kindergarten staff were unaware of attachment theory. Findings reveal the Covid pandemic 19 has caused trauma that is preventing children from passing through the phases of attachment theory leading to poor working mental models and poor mental health. A Blueprint for Character Development for Evolution (ABCDE) is presented as an incremental model to enable staff, students and parents to evaluate progress through the phases of attachment theory and moving from fear to good faculty of judgement required for self-determining homeostasis.

https://doi.org/10.24452/sjer.42.2.9 ; Lifelong learning policies are subject to various approaches of educational governance. Our research presents a hypothesis that lifelong learning policies are creating and engaging with new facets of governance. To test for proof of concept, the lead author conducted interviews with officials and policy makers from international organisations such as the United Nations Education, Science and Culture Organisation, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the International Labour Organisation and the Council of Europe. The thematic analysis of the data revealed lifelong learning governance is characterised by an «effects spiral» or «interactive governance» – an institutional formation, functioning and conditioning in decision making of international, European and national actors. A double issue is also highlighted: the economic difficulties (employability, flexi-security, funding and mobility) and the monitoring process (expertise, comparison, transposition, supervision and control), which are prioritised over the social role of education. This is important because it is the social role of education that empowers citizens to realise national, regional, and international strategic plans, and the monitoring process for sustainable development. The thematic analysis reveals new forms of governance in lifelong learning policies, namely collaborative governance, competitive governance, control governance and thematic governance. The authors present this taxonomy on lifelong learning governance with recommendations of how lifelong learning policies can be optimised. ; Lifelong learning policies are subject to various approaches of educational governance.

(DIPF/Orig.) ; Lebenslanges Lernen wird von der Bildungspolitik auf unterschiedliche Weise gefördert. Unsere Untersuchungen gehen davon aus, dass die politische Förderung lebenslangen Lernens neue Formen finden muss. Um die Beweiskraft dieses Konzepts zu testen, führte der Erstautor Gespräche mit Beamten und politisch verantwortlichen Vertretern internationaler Organisationen wie der UNESCO, der OECD, der Internationalen Arbeitsorganisation (ILO) und dem Europarat. Die thematische Analyse der Ergebnisse zeigte, dass die Förderung lebenslangen Lernens von einem "spiralenförmigen Effekt" oder von "interaktiven Bemühungen", mithin einer institutionellen Zusammenarbeit gekennzeichnet ist, die sich bei der Entscheidungsfindung internationaler, europäischer und nationaler Gremien ergibt und die Bedingung dafür ist. Gleichzeitig ergab sich ein doppeltes Problem, nämlich die wirtschaftlichen Schwierigkeiten (Beschäftigungsmöglichkeit, Arbeitsplatzsicherheit und Flexibilität, Finanzierbarkeit, Freizügigkeit) sowie das Überprüfungsverfahren (Expertise, Vergleichbarkeit, Übertragbarkeit, Überwachung und Kontrolle), Gesichtspunkte, die gegenüber der gesellschaftlichen Rolle der Bildung Vorrang genießen. Dies ist wichtig, weil es die soziale Rolle der Bildung ist, die es dem Bürger ermöglicht, nationale, regionale und internationale politische Vorhaben Wirklichkeit werden zu lassen und weil es das Überprüfungsverfahren ist, das für nachhaltige Entwicklung sorgt. Die Auswertung der thematischen Analyse der Gesprächsergebnisse zeigt deutlich neue Formen der Förderung lebenslangen Lernens, beruhend auf Zusammenarbeit, Wetteifern um die beste Politik, Kontrolle und thematischen Schwerpunkten. Die Autoren taten sich zusammen, um gemeinsam diese Taxonomie der Förderung lebenslangen Lernens vorzustellen und Empfehlungen zur bestmöglichen Förderung lebenslangen Lernens auszusprechen.

The paper addresses the foundations of governance and democracy by presenting an evidence informed strategy that supports the collection of new evidence through groundwork case studies delivered through a consortium of 11 HEIs in different nation states. The partners working with Senior Credentialed Educational Leaders in schools have developed research questions, addressed by applying A Blueprint for Character Development for Evolution (ABCDE). This paper presents ABCDE as the strategy. Community members start to develop their sense making from observations to their beliefs (A-B) and from their beliefs to their methods (B-C). Community members can move from methods to developing hypotheses (C-D) to developing principles and theories-of-change (D-E). Community members apply ABCDE to develop confidence and trust in themselves and others in a process of becoming self-governing. ABCDE Empowers Young Societal Innovators for Equity and Renewal (EYSIER) by mobilising grass roots up theories-of-change with new partnerships brokered by 'Professional Educators and Administrators' Committees for Empowerment' (PEACE). PEACE is brokered by cross faculty partnerships of HEIs that partner with private, public and third sectors of all spheres in the wider society to produce and exchange knowledge to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The paper identifies PEACE needs supporting by coherent policy to build trust in societal institutions within a social contract and embedded economy that socialises investment, risk and rewards. The consortium seeks funding to deliver ABCDE and mainstream it, brokered by HEIs as hubs, to achieve the SDGs and address violent extremism including Nigeria, Pakistan and the broader MENA region and the Balkans. ; The paper addresses the foundations of governance and democracy by presenting an evidence informed strategy that supports the collection of new evidence through groundwork case studies delivered through a consortium of 11 HEIs in different nation states.
