Features: Over the past 50 years, UNESCO has played an increasingly important role in the world. As an international organization, one of its greatest contributions is to gradually help governments and the public in various countries recognize the importance and mission of education, and to promote educational reform and development worldwide. UNESCO's relentless efforts in this regard are recognized by people around the world and have left an indelible mark in history. In the wave of educational reform at the turn of the century, it is highly beneficial to seriously summarize and learn from the experience and lessons of global educational reform over the past half century. Selecting the recognized essence of educational thought from UNESCO's historical archives is a shortcut for educators in China's reform and opening-up to understand and learn from the achievements of global educational reform. The first batch of works approved for this series of books includes classics such as Learning to Be, hailed as a milestone in the development of contemporary educational thought, and The Global Outlook on Education Content Development from Now to 2000, which outlines the main trends of educational content reform at the end of the century. Additionally, there is The Mission of Education – A Declaration and Action Plan for Education in the 21st Century, which had a profound and far-reaching impact on global education in the 1990s.
