GCED is critical for learners and countries to reach the SDG-Education 2030 targets. Many countries have GCED elements, either explicitly or implicitly, within their education policies. However, to fully realize SDG target 4.7 and to enable our learners to achieve the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to succeed in an ever-changing and adaptable world, countries may need to explicitly build these components directly into various education policies. This policymakers’ handbook provides some guidance on how policymakers can develop and adapt local level policies in order to strengthen GCED learning.
