Summary/Abstract: The article includes a brief analysis of the global education system from the perspective of the relevant provisions included in the programmatic document entitled ”Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, adopted by the UN Summit on 25 September 2015, as well as in the light of the latest UNESCO recommendations aimed at ensuring education a priority in the knowledge galaxy. Following a series of preliminary observations, significant aspects and data on the relatively modest results of the global implementation of the UN and UNESCO recommendations on education are presented, summarizing the ambitious goals set in this area for 2030, highlighting the contribution of educators in materializing these objectives, in accordance with the fundamental rights to education and development.

At the end of the article, are highlighted the latest positions expressed by UNESCO in relation to future priority actions to endow education with the transformative force it must exert in the global process of sustainable development.
