THE GOALS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION: FEATURES AND CHALLENGES OF IMPLEMENTATION
Abstract
The article presents the peculiarities and problems of realizing sustainable development goals (SDG) in the field of education. The article is based on a series of questions and answers aimed at explaining SDG № 4, «Ensuring comprehensive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all», and provides information for a better understanding of the place of this goal in promoting world development for the period up to 2030 year. Purpose. The article outlines the main characteristics of the goal of sustainable development in the field of education, specifies specific tasks that specify the goal, the main principles of SDG № 4, related goals and objectives, mechanisms for monitoring and coordination of goals, basic reference documents for goal 4. Methodology. The basis of the research is made by methods of the analysis and synthesis of materials of researches, general scientific methods of classification, generalization and comparison. Results. Conclusions are drawn that the tasks assigned to the LRC can not be successfully implemented by poor and rich countries; some of the indicators of educational goals depend on the socio-economic and cultural context, and do not have a unique interpretation for developed and developing countries, moreover, in different conditions, interpretation may have the opposite meaning; many indicators characterize activities that will not yield results without additional measures, otherwise, this activity leads to additional costs; the development of universal systems and indicators of development seems to be little real, it may seem more correct to develop approaches to the formation of national systems of indicators based on a common global goal. It is important to understand that there is no universal model of education for sustainable development and can not exist a priori. Practical implications. The thoughts expressed in the article are the subjective opinion of the authors of the article. The authors of the article and the society as a whole, can never be sure of answering questions about the effectiveness of the SDG implementation, as the well-known fact that the formation is very difficult to estimate the final effects leaves its imprint. they are significantly delayed in time. In addition, the results of education are affected by a huge number of social, economic and political factors and determine the true role of education – it is quite difficult.
