DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING SUSTAINABLE GROWTH MODELS IN EDUCATION SYSTEMS FOR LONG-TERM SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Pages: 1-13

Abstract

The quest to achieve global stability in the 2020s requires a shift towards
traditional industrial education within the framework of long-term socio-economic resiliency.
The study will deal with the urgent issue of the sustainability gap, in which conventional
educational frameworks lack the competencies needed by human capital to transition to a
low-carbon, circular economy. Based on a qualitative approach of analytic methodology with
the suggested Sustainalism Education Growth Index (SEGI), the study will assess the
implementation of Sustainalism into the national curricula. Among important statistical
lessons learned during the review of the performance of green growths around the world, it
can be observed that economies where inclusive and digitally proper education prevails are
15-20 times more effective in decoupling GDP growth and resource consumption than those
that adhere to the linear model with industrialization. The findings indicate that the
deployment of the Digital Sustainable Growth Model (DSGM) minimizes the uncertainty in
the innovation process and the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems, where social
equity is valued more than short-term profit. In addition, the research establishes that with
a 10% sustainability in pedagogic investment, it is possible to identify a positive growth in
the willingness to grow on a regional scale by measuring the indices of inclusive growth in
terms of space and time. The study concludes that education is the key driver in realizing the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which is the kick-starter infrastructure in the
governance of the environment and financial development. The policymakers, in order to
guarantee long-term prosperity, should embrace modular and agile educational systems that do not consider sustainability as a peripheral subject, but a fundamental principle of
operation. This geo-strategic fit is necessary to ease the shift of resource-intensive sectors to
a green economy, which is based on knowledge and ensures intergenerational equity and
international economic stability.
