Redefining the Education Chain for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to synthesize information from academic papers for redefining the educational chain: the network of relationships between educational institutes that is responsible for driving the basic education core curriculum along with curriculum design in line with the developmental direction of society and the country. The teacher acts as a mechanism to connect and transfer knowledge to learners to understand their own values and specialties, live happily, and be able to create positive social change. The educational chain should be divided into three phases, namely the quality of education, the educational process, and educational achievement. Integrating the educational chain with the notion of sustainable development is a backward perspective which emphasizes greatly on learners and focuses mainly on the production and distribution of knowledge within learners through their identity values. In addition, it creates a ripple of opportunities to encourage the transition of thoughts and values from intellectual students to adults who have a role in governing the country. Therefore, sustainable development is the process of delivering values to the learners in order to pass on new values to our society and sustaining a flow of knowledge and values in the society and country endlessly.
