Developing Global Competence in the Hungarian EFL Classroom


Quality Education in the 21st Century

In our increasingly turbulent and interconnected world, education has to meet new needs to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century. In 2015, the United Nations (UN) adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which are a call for action by all UN countries to tackle global challenges (e.g., poverty, climate change, gender inequality) by 2030. As it is widely believed that education is the most powerful weapon to challenge inequalities, the fourth goal became quality education for all. According to Goal 4, quality education must develop the skills, values and attitudes that enable citizens to lead healthy and fulfilled lives, make informed decisions, and respond to local and global challenges through education for sustainable development and global citizenship education, as well as human rights education and training in order to achieve the United Nations Education 2030 agenda (UNESCO, 2018, p. 1).
