5. At an international level, the adoption of the OER Recommend
ation constitutes a decisive step towards building more open a
nd inclusive knowledge societies and towards the achievement
of the UN 2030 Agenda. Indeed, the implementation of the
Recommendation will contribute to the achievement of at least
six Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), namely SDG 4 (Qual
ity education), SDG 5 (Gender equality), SDG 9 (Industry, innov
ation and infrastructure), SDG 10 (Reduced inequalities within
and across countries), SDG 16 (Peace, justice and strong instit
utions) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the goals).

7. The vision for the OER
Dynamic Coalition is to expand
and consolidate commitments
to actions in the area of OER,
and to promote and reinforce
international cooperation
among all relevant
stakeholders.
The principles of gender
equality, geographic
distribution, and open and
accessible participation for all
stakeholders to contribute
ideas, knowledge and
information are guiding
principles of the OER Dynamic
Coalition.

8. 8
Open science elements based on UNESCO presentation of 17 February 2021
The six principles of op
en science are:[13]
•Open methodology
•Open source
•Open data
•Open access
•Open peer review
•Open educational resour

9. Accessibility for OER
The focus of many open
education projects is to provide
access to education. But what
does access mean? If the
materials are not accessible for
each and every student, do they
fulfill the mandate to deliver fully
open education? The open
education movement has helped
people in different parts of the
world access content that they
would otherwise not be able to
view or interact with. Open
education resources reduce costs
for students and allow for greater
flexibility for instructors.
Accessibility can help push the
movement even further forward.

11. Nine gradients identified
UNESCO Futures of Education:
Findings
Public or private good
Who pays for education
in the future?
Singular or diverse
curricula
Which perspectives will
be included in the
curricula of the future?
Early learning or lifelong
learning
When in life is learning
most important
Personalized learning or
collective endeavour
Should learning be
tailored to the needs of
individuals or groups?
Transformation or
incremental change
Is transformational
change needed for
education?

12. A new social contract needs to overcome discrimination, margin
alization, and exclusion. We must dedicate ourselves to ensuring
gender equality and the rights of all regardless of race, ethnicity,
religion, disability, sexual orientation, age, or citizenship status. A
massive commitment to social dialogue, to thinking and acting t
ogether, is needed.
12

13. A call for research and innovation. A new social contract requires a worldwide, coll
aborative research programme that focuses on the right to education throughout lif
e.
A call for global solidarity and international cooperation. A new social contract fo
r education requires renewed commitment to global collaboration in support of edu
cation as a common good.
Universities and other higher education institutions must be active in every aspect
of building a new social contract for education.
It is essential that everyone be able to participate in building the futures of edu
cation – children, youth, parents, teachers, researchers, activists, employers, cultural
and religious leaders. We have deep, rich, and diverse cultural traditions to build up
on. Humans have great collective agency, intelligence, and creativity. And we now fa
ce a serious choice: continue on an unsustainable path or radically change course.
