Using Civic Participation and Civic Reasoning to Shape Our Future and Education (Background Paper for the Futures of Education Initiative) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Sarah M. Stitzlein Corporate author: UNESCO Actualizing a preferred future relies on citizens who are prepared to effectively engage perhaps the most fundamental civic question: ‘What should we do?’ (Levine, 2016; Dishon & Ben-Porath, 2018). It is a question that arises when people face a problem, must reach a decision, or must figure out how to flourish together as a group. This question is closely tied to the key question posed by the International Commission on the Futures of Education: ‘What do we want to become?’ Engaging both questions is a useful way for us to envision education in the future. These questions push us to consider not only what we merely can do, but also what is right for us to do in light of our responsibilities to others.Civic reasoning is the sort of reasoning we do as we answer the question, ‘What should we do?’ Civic discourse is a means or method by which people engage in civic reasoning. Efforts to envision improved education and futures should foreground civic reasoning and discourse as both a means and ends of citizen participation. They are important for the ways in which they directly engage citizens and for their products, which lead to future civic action and better futures. 
Equitable Education: 30 Years from Education for All to All for Education 2030 Year of publication: 2020 Author: Juan Miguel Luz Corporate author: Equitable Education Fund In the 30 years since the World Declaration on Education for All (Jomtien Declaration, Thailand), the world has made enormous strides in achieving the target of universal primary education.Total enrolment rates in developing regions reached 91 percent in 2015 and the worldwide number of children out of school has dropped by almost half. However, large disparities remain. Children from the poorest households are up to five times more likely to be out of school than those of the richest households. Disparities between rural and urban areas also remain high.As education inequality threatens to widen because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and with only 10 years to go to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), now, more than ever, is the time for the world to come together and accelerate change through innovative and sustainable solutions.
