Higher education institutions have a critical role to play in driving sustainable development forward. But creating a sustainable future is much more than just creating green campuses or implementing recycling efforts or global citizenship initiatives. It also means inclusive education and lifelong learning.
There is global recognition of Education as a tool for Sustainable Development (ESD). Quality education can help improve livelihoods of the people and more so People with disability.

Sustainable Development is in need of the present scenario. We humans develop in such a way that our progress is not affected and at the same time needs of future generations are not affected. This ppt is only for educational purposes.
The purpose of this paper was to know the sustainable development goal 4 and find out the quality of education in Zambia. The quality of education was measured by the number of primary and secondary schools, enrolment of students, dropout rate, the equity indicators – gender parity index and student-teacher ratio and quality indicators like exam pass rate and infrastructure. The study concluded that the growth rate of schools under private/church/community was higher than the Government run schools during the study period. There prevails inequality between different provinces with regard to the availability of schools. The average annual growth rate in enrolment for grade 1-12 for female students was higher than the male students, whereas, in public universities the percentage of enrolment for male students was higher than female. The dropout rate was higher for female than male students, due to early pregnancy. The gender parity index increased due to the policy of the Government towards girls. To achieve the sustainable development goal for education, the study suggested that the teachers in rural areas should be provided better service conditions, education should be enhanced according to the needs of the economy and student loan scheme should be initiated by the banks and financial institutions.

In September 2015, the sustainable development goals were adopted by the UN, defining a set of goals to be achieved by 2030 through the collaboration of all countries around the world (http://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/). Each goal has specific targets regarding ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring prosperity for all. As part of the Technology and Innovation class in the Masters in Management at IE Business School, my workgroup developed a technology-based solution to support one of the targets in the Sustainable Development Goal #4: “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. With the refugee crisis being a major current topic around the world, and in Europe especially, we developed an application to support refugee children in getting primary education. The application is based on a mentoring system, through which tutors around the world can teach children in refugee camps.

Designing meaningful learning environments with service-learningSt. John's University
Service-learning is an academically rigorous and structured educational approach that promotes active learning by integrating classroom learning with experiential learning through pragmatic community service and civic engagement.
This design worksheet steps one through the process of how to design a field-based learning activity or program, including defining the learning aims and goals and how it can be integrated into the curriculum to create a more dynamic and engaged learning environment.
This keynote presentation will provide an overview of field-based learning - an active, inquiry-based teaching and learning strategy where teaching and learning is extended beyond the classroom/laboratory walls and where students are exposed to real-world teaching and learning settings in the broader community. In field-based learning, students learn by hands-on application of course content and though direct interaction with the environment rather than solely through textbooks and lectures.
Developing Global Citizenship and Inter-cultural Competencies: Examining the Work of the International Higher Education Teaching and Learning Association (HETL)
The main focus of education should not be purely vocational but rather in nurturing interests, skills, and knowledge across an array of topics that are personally meaningful and individualized to each student. The ultimate goal education should be to prepare students for life in all its complexities - creative learning is a key element in achieving this goal.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Introduction
In the current era, we face huge global problems (for example, refugee crisis,
global climate change, extreme poverty, illiteracy) and these problems are best
addressed through education and globally coordinated efforts like the United
Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Higher education not only has a role to play in that effort but it also has the
capacity to play a leading role.
3. Introduction
Creating a sustainable future
is much more than just
creating green campuses or
implementing recycling efforts
or global citizenship
initiatives.
Higher education not only has
a role to play in that effort
but it also has the capacity to
play a leading role.
It also means integrating
sustainable development
issues and initiatives into the
curriculum across all
disciplines at all levels.
4. Sustainable development
The United Nations (UN) defines sustainable development (SD) as
“…development that meets the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
As such, SD not only deals with environmental issues, but economic, social, and
cultural issues as well.
Given the increased demands placed on societies and the environment due to,
among other factors, increased human migration, increased urbanization and
industrialization, as well as the ongoing depletion of non-renewable resources,
it is clear that global action is needed to create a more sustainable future.
Given its primary role as knowledge producer, higher education can serve as a
powerful means to help create a more sustainable future.
An increasing number of universities are offering programs in sustainable
development.

5. Education for sustainable development
The concept of “education for sustainable development” (ESD) has become, in
recent years, one of the core educational initiatives.
According to UNESCO, ESD “empowers people to change the way they think
and work towards a sustainable future”
ESD, therefore, involves making access to quality education available at every
stage of life.
It involves educating students on the necessity of SD by integrating SD issues
into all aspects of teaching, research, and service.
This means reorienting the education system at all levels to help people think
and behave in ways that foster a more sustainable planet (for example, global
citizenship, recycling, climate change, biodiversity, renewable energy, and
social responsibility).

a Sustainable Development Goal
Times Higher Education is set to launch the world’s first university impact ranking.
9. UN sustainable development goals
With a target date of 2030, the UN, through their SDG initiative, has set 17
broad and interdependent goals that are necessary for creating a sustainable
future on our planet.
Goal 4 deals directly with education – its goal is to “Ensure inclusive and
equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities
for all”.
Higher education institutions can participate in the UN Higher Education
Sustainability Initiative and the UN University provides many examples of
sustainability in action.
One of the key questions to be addressed is: what can higher education
leaders, researchers, faculty, and students do to implement SD in their
institutional vision, mission, and values statements, their strategic plans, and
their organizational culture?
Example: https://miamioh.edu/about-miami/sustainability/index.html
10. Addressing goal 4
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education
Inclusion is broadly defined by UNESCO as “…a process of addressing and
responding to the diversity of needs of all children, youth and adults through
increasing participation in learning, cultures and communities, and reducing and
eliminating exclusion within and from education”
To this end, HETL has launched a book series titled, International Perspectives
on Equity and Inclusion.
In this forthcoming series, educational scholars from around the world address
four key issues in higher education, each of which has been developed into its
own volume:
1) Diversity and Gender Identities,
2) Diverse Student Identities,
3) Strategies for Fostering Inclusive Classrooms, and
4) Strategies for Facilitating Inclusive Campuses.
11. Addressing goal 4
Promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
Lifelong learning is broadly defined to include all forms of learning (formal, non-
formal, informal) that is undertaken throughout the course of one’s life in order
to acquire or improve one’s knowledge, skills, behaviors, competencies, and
values.
To help address lifelong learning opportunities for all, HETL has also launched a
book series titled, Refugee Education.
In this forthcoming series, educational scholars from around the world address
three key issues in higher education relative to the refugee crisis, each of which
has been developed into its own volume:
1) Integration and Acceptance of Refugees in Mainstream Society,
2) Policies and Directions for Refugee Education, and
3) Language Teaching and Pedagogy.

14. Conclusion
As noted by Taya Louise Owens, “It is important to note that sustainable
development works as an organising principle because it recognises that
complex natural and social systems are interconnected.”
So, creating a sustainable future is much more than just creating green
campuses or implementing recycling efforts or global citizenship initiatives; it
may also involve implementing more blended learning programs, creating more
university partnerships involving SD as well as integrating SD issues and
initiatives into the curriculum across disciplines at all levels.
HETL will publish (2020) new series titled, "Higher Education for a
Sustainable Future“ which will consist of the following volumes:
1) integrating SD into the curriculum,
2) SD leadership and strategies, and
3) university partnerships for SD.
