Sustainable@EDU Commitment_16_09_2015v7
The United Nations defined the next 15 years as the Age of Sustainability approving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) based on Three Pillars named the 3E, Economic, Social (Equity) and Environment, which in our vision require a Fourth E, the one of Education. Without this E, the other Three are meaningless and we will fail to build a Sustainable Knowledge Society.
Committed to Sustainable Education to continuously improve its access and quality, we join the effort in promoting Sustainable@EDU Commitment – Sustainable Standing for Sustainability, @ for Tecnology and EDU for Education.
Presentation and Signature of the Commitment
