Highlights
In my role as an assistant researcher for GE and ESD at the International School for Social and Business Studies (ISSBS) and the former Slovenian representative at the UNECE I'm constantly following what has been achieved in this area in education
Spanning 2005 to 2014, the ultimate goal of the DESD is to engage people and communities in meaningful lifelong learning processes which examine how societies can live in more sustainable ways
The Monitoring and Evaluation Expert Group (MEEG) is comprised of specialists who have expertise and experience in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) at the international and national level in the following fields: educational policies and management, educational statistics, ESD, environmental education, social development and economics of development
Summary
The United Nations Decade in Education for Sustainable Development (otherwise known as the DESD) is a global movement which seeks to transform education policy, investment and practice. The scope of the DESD is broad and its potential effects are far-reaching. If it is successful, the DESD could transform education and the quality of life for many people across the globe. Acknowledging the potential impact of the DESD, UNESCO established a Monitoring and Evaluation Expert Group (MEEG) in 2007 to advice on appropriate monitoring mechanisms to assess:. (i) global progress in the implementation of the DESD; and (ii) UNESCO’s contribution to the implementation of the DESD.
