Abstract: | Ladies and gentlemen: we live in uncertain and troubling times. We also live in extraordinary times. Never before has the world been so prosperous, never before have so many people lived such long and healthy lives, never before have we witnessed such dazzling technology and never before have we reached, on average, such levels of education. And yet, in absolute numbers, never before have so many people lived in such poverty, never before have so many died from preventable diseases, never before has the planet been so threatened, never before have so many needed education. And it is education that fuels sustainable development, education that is fundamental to enlightened citizenship, to the peace and harmony – and even the continued life – of our species on this planet. |
