Japan Education Forum for Sustainable Development Goals (15th JEF for SDGs)<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

Quality of education carried over to SDGs as one of the critical agendas from EFA, and education can be considered to \u201censure inclusive and equitable quality and effective learning outcome\u201d in SDGs. In other words, the goal is to broaden opportunities by linking learning outcomes — obtaining knowledge and skills, including non-cognitive ones — to employability.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Education in Japan has also changed with the trends of the times. For example, in 1983, an education guideline was changed to aim at \u201cfostering student ability to learn by themselves,\u201d and it was the beginning of the \u201cYutori Education\u201d era in which the amount of content taught in schools was reduced. Because of the worsening results of the OECD student Programme for International Student Assessment (2003), the learning content was increased again in 2008.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then, recently, the themes of valuing cultural diversity, inquiry-based\/problem-solving \u201cself-motivated, interactive, and deep learning\u201d have garnered attention rather than simply acquiring \u201cknowledge,\u201d and the curriculum guideline was revised.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In developing countries, quality of education has been on the agenda for a long time, and education policy is often affected by the prevailing regime and donors of the time. For example, school enrollment in many developing countries has been improved thanks to previous initiatives; however, only 70 % of children in low income countries would have completed primary education by 2030. (In one country in Sub-Saharan Africa, gross enrollment rate for preschool reaches 100%, but the net enrollment rate for primary education is only 80 %.) Learning outcomes have more issues, including traditional curriculum and large class sizes, luck of national standard licensed teachers, and physical infrastructure such as unmaintained school buildings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, this year\u2019s JEF for SDGs will highlight the realities and challenges of education policies in Japan and developing countries by exploring quality of education for which SDGs are aiming. We look forward to welcoming active participation from the floor.<\/p>\n
