L'Education pour les peuples et la planète: créer des avenirs durables pour tous; Rapport mondial de suivi sur l'éducation, 2016

The GEM Report provides an authoritative account of how education is the most vital input for every dimension of sustainable development. Better education leads to greater prosperity, improved agriculture, better health outcomes, less violence, more gender equality, higher social capital and an improved natural environment. Education is key to helping people around the world understand why sustainable development is such a vital concept for our common future. Education gives us the key tools – economic, social, technological, even ethical – to take on the SDGs and to achieve them. These facts are spelled out in exquisite and unusual detail throughout the report. Yet the report also emphasizes the remarkable gaps between where the world stands today on education and where it has promised to arrive as of 2030.
