In the context of education, sustainability encompasses two complementary dimensions. Firstly, the pressing need to guarantee the sustainability of educational systems across the globe. This demands adequate funding, proper governance, suitable accreditation and mechanisms to protect equality, ranging across all levels of public and private education, with clear progression routes from one level to another. Secondly, the role of education in formulating a globally sustainable culture. In the context of rapidly increasing population numbers, a new sustainable and global paradigm must not only be developed but also taught and disseminated around the world.
