Repositionnement et reconceptualiser le programme d'études pour l'utilisation Efficace du Développement Durable Objectif Quatre, pour le développement holistique et modes de vie durables Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) Le but de ce document de travail est double, il est de repositionner curriculum au centre national et le dialogue mondial du développement et de mettre en évidence son pouvoir pour donner effet aux nationaux et aux états ambitieux mondiaux sur le rôle de l'éducation dans le développement holistique . Quand bien conçu et efficacement adopté, le curriculum détermine la qualité, l'inclusion et le développement-pertinence de l'éducation. Deuxièmement, il faut reconceptualiser programme comme une force fondamentale de l'intégration des systèmes d'éducation et comme un outil opérationnel pour donner effet aux politiques sur l'apprentissage continu. Curriculum conduit tous les aspects essentiels de l'éducation qui sont connus pour déterminer la qualité, l'inclusion et la pertinence tels que le contenu, l'apprentissage, l'enseignement, l'évaluation et l'enseignement et des environnements d'apprentissage entre autres. Son articulation horizontale et verticale, ainsi que son articulation dans tous les milieux d'apprentissage est ce qui donne effet aux politiques d'apprentissage continu. Ce document vise donc à repositionner programme comme un outil indispensable pour donner effet à ODD Objectif 4.
