WE ARE ON A GRAND
GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP ALLIANCE ON EDUCATION. AFTER ENSURING THE MEANS OF
LIVELIHOOD, “EDUCATION” IS SEEN AS FOUNDATION OF THE 17 TRANSFORMATIONAL GOALS
LAID OUT BY THE UN FOR 2030.
The Global Office of the Montfortian
Education foundation has been running a series of resource material on 17 SDGs
with all its Targets as laid out by the United Nations. The common objective is
the “Transformation of the world by 2030”. We, as educationists are part of the
core of this whole. Hence the parts – our institutions – cannot be fully
meaningful unless we are with the whole in perception, commitment and
transformative actions. Our assumption is that by this time all
Montfortian institutions in 32 countries across the 5 continents are familiar
with the 17 SDGs. They should be prominently displayed for ready reference as
we work for the realization of it for the next 13 years. An year of awareness
is coming to an end. All our Teachers, Students and even Parents should be
familiar with this global mission. We are working out MEF Indicators for
Montfortian Institutions and hope to reach out with process monitoring during
coming months and years.
We are entering into a specific and
focussed Phase of our awareness programme on Goal No. 4 which is Education. As
educationists we are all aware that this is the one global concern of all
people of good will. Rethinking on education, reformulating educational
process, restructuring educational formats, and resourcing the educational
opportunities are going on across the globe. To be part of it is the way to be
Great Educators, as we Montfortians want to be. Transition from Good to Great
is a personal choice and Montfortian Education Mission challenges everyone to
make the grade.
I SUGGEST THAT
ALL OUR INSTITUTIONS SET UP A “THINK TANK-MONITORING GROUP” ON SDG 4.
Montfortian
Education promotes universal access to education which includes the process and
resources, including knowledge sources. We promote OPEN SOURCE materials and
request Governments and educational agencies to facilitate the process for
providing equal opportunities for all. CLICK HERE
