Educating to Transform Education as the Key to Sustainable Economic Development

Abstract

In the 21st century—marked by rapid technological advances, geopolitical tensions, and unprecedented global challenges—education once again stands at the center of strategies for economic development. However, speaking of education today as a driver of growth cannot be reduced to a purely technical or instrumental view of learning. Rather, it is about recognizing that education, in its broadest sense, serves as a platform for economic, social, cultural, and ecological transformation.
