Abstract

Considering the role of education in achieving an important objective of any national economy- the sustainable development- this paper brings as novelty a new concept on education- sustainable education model. In this context, the sustainable development is defined from the perspective of education contribution in improving the economic and social development. A particular attention is assigned to education for sustainable development and to the correlations between education and macroeconomic and social indicators (economic growth, productivity, income, trade, political system, demographic trend).
