Abstract

This commentary shows that the SDGs, and above all Target 4.7, are the symbolic culmination of two trajectories related, on one hand, to educational outcomes in policy and practice and, on the other, to discourses about development and sustainability. The relevance and urgency of emphasizing Target 4.7 is increased rather than reduced by the current polycrisis – global security, climate change, etc.—and the meaning and purpose of learning are being reoriented. The commentary argues that transformation in and through education is possible. It concludes by raising questions and challenges for providing conducive conditions and additional measures that are need for achieving Target 4.7 producing transformative behavioral change.
