Abstract

Sustainable Education. EU and Employment Rates of Recent Graduates.
The concept of sustainable development gradually assumed at a global level and enshrined in 2015 through the adoption of the 2030 Agenda comes as an extension of an optimistic paradigm, which integrates within its borders the aspiration to build a safer and freer world for the entire population of humanity. With the approval in New York, in September 2015, of the 2030 Agenda, the transition from the 8 Millennium Development Goals to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was achieved, thus underlining the redefinition of humanity’s development objectives for the next 15 years. The project is ambitious, and to mark its importance and involvement in international development, the European Commission designated 2015 as the European Year for Development. Each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals is very important, with a total of 169 sub-targets and 232 indicators for monitoring progress in achieving the targets. But Sustainable Development Goal 4, which aims to ensure access to quality education, seems essential for the proper functioning of a sustainable society as a whole. It is a key factor and facilitator contributing to the achievement of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. And this is because to navigate today’s complex world and make informed decisions, we need to develop critical thinking, a skill that helps us evaluate information, make valid arguments, and solve problems effectively. And critical thinking must be trained and educated. Correct thinking on which we can base good decisions.
