Abstract
Education has always been the path to sustainability, but education within itself has had a challenging journey to achieve its stated goals—access, equity, quality and achievement, among others. The education sector suffers, as do other sectors, from a short-term decision-making horizon, whereas the impact of our decisions now lasts through generations. It is critical to be able to frame education in a way that leads to sustainable outcomes at the very least. To be sustainable in its processes is a bonus, and to be sustainable in its intent is to have won the battle.
