DAR2014 Background …overpopulation as not just a problem of resources, but of social cohesion. …the "behavioral sink." This referred to aberrant behaviors such as hyperaggression, failure to breed normally, infant cannibalism, increased mortality, and aberrant sexual patterns in such overcrowded situations.

Usaha ini adalah bertujuan untuk melahirkan warganegara Malaysia yang berilmu pengetahuan, berakhlak mulia, bertanggungjawab dan berkeupayaan mencapai kesejahteraan diri serta mampu memberikan sumbangan terhadap keharmonian dan kemakmuran keluarga, masyarakat dan negara”.

Pemikiran pertama ialah pendidikan untuk memenuhi objektif utilitarian, manakala pemikiran kedua ialah pendidikan untuk pembangunan manusia dan perkembangan ilmu. Polemik antara dua aliran pemikiran tersebut menjadi semakin ketara dengan wujudnya fenomena pengangguran di kalangan siswazah di negara ini. Fenomena ini telah dimanfaatkan oleh aliran utilitarian untuk memperteguhkan pandangan mereka bahawa matlamat pendidikan tinggi ialah menyediakan teknokrat, birokrat, saintis, ahli ekonomi dan ahli profesional yang berkepakaran tinggi, yang sangat diperlukan oleh pasaran pekerjaan, yang berkeupayaan untuk menyumbang kepada pembangunan ekonomi dan pembangunan perindustrian dan perdangangan negara. DAR2014 …the dark side of today’s education Today the human population will increase by 250,000. And today we will add 2,700 tons of chlorofluorocarbons to the atmosphere and 15 million tons of carbon. Tonight the Earth will be a little hotter, its waters more acidic, and the fabric of life more threadbare. .... It is worth noting that this is not the work of ignorant people. It is, rather, largely the result of work by people with BAs, BSs, LLBs, MBAs, and PhDs.” _ David Orr (1991) What Is Education For? Six myths about the foundations of modern education, and six new principles to replace them DAR2014 What was wrong with their education? (Orr, 1991) • In Wiesel's words (Global Forum, Moscow, 1990): "It [education] emphasized theories instead of values, concepts rather than human beings, abstraction rather than consciousness, answers instead of questions, ideology and efficiency rather than conscience.“ • My point is simply that education is no guarantee of decency, prudence, or wisdom. More of the same kind of education will only compound our problems. This is not an argument for ignorance, but rather a statement that the worth of education must now be measured against the standards of decency and human survival - the issues now looming so large before us in the decade of the 1990s and beyond. • It is not education that will save us, but education of a certain kind. DAR2014 Namun, aliran kemanusiaan tetap berpendirian bahawa pendidikan tiada hubungkaitnya dengan membekalkan sesuatu kemahiran khusus dalam sesuatu bidang pekerjaan, atau menyediakan pekerja industri atau melayani tuntutan-tuntutan ekonomi. Matlamat pendidikan mengikut aliran kemanusiaan ialah menghasilkan manusia yang seimbang perkembangan fizikal, intelektual, sosial, emosi dan kerohaniannya, manusia yang berterusan meneroka perkembangan ilmu, manusia yang sarat dengan nilai-nilai murni, dan manusia yang mendukung perpaduan dan integrasi nasional. Jawatankuasa berpendapat bahawa kedua-kedua aliran pemikiran adalah relevan dan penting, dan dengan itu perlu disepadukan dalam gerakan meningkatkan kualiti pendidikan tinggi negara”.

A world where no one has been left behind, where economies are transformed, and where transparent and representative by governments are in charge. A world of peace where sustainable development is the overarching goal. A world with a new spirit of cooperation and partnership. This is not wishful thinking. Examples of Potential Impact By 2030 the world would have: 1.2 billion fewer people hungry and in extreme poverty 100 million more children who would otherwise have died before they were five 4.4 million more women who would otherwise have died during pregnancy or childbirth 1.3 billion tons of food per year saved from going to waste 470 million more workers with good jobs and livelihoods 200 million more young people employed with the skills they need to get good work 1.2 billion more people connected to electricity 190 to 240 million hectares more of forest cover $30 trillion spent by governments worldwide transparently accounted for People everywhere participating in decision-making and holding officials accountable Average global temperatures on a path to stabilise at less than 2° C above pre-industrial levels 220 million fewer people who suffer crippling effects of natural disasters DAR2014 - The Report of the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda, p. 31 Educational Planning (UNESCO) • strengthen national capacity to plan and manage changing educational systems in response to the needs of society • plan and prepare the education sector through long-term involvement and focused [sustainable] interventions • improve the quality of the educational experience itself • realise global agenda like ESD, EFA, MDGs and post-2015 Development (Education) Agenda Q: what educational planning do nations need in the 21st century in the face of a rapidly changing world (including population issues)?
