Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The educational proposals on which the educational programs for sustainable development have to be based in order to change the world after the COVID-19 pandemic that has affected the 5 continents should be based on the Sustainable Development Goals, from a worldwide proposal of both the most and least resourceful countries, following the United Nations proposal (UN, 2021) to preserve the planet. Among the 17 priority Objectives of Sustainable Development are: Good Health and Well-Being (3rd place), Quality Education (4th place), Gender Equality (5th place), Proper Work and Economic Growth (8th place), Reduced Inequalities (10th place), Sustainable Cities and Communities (11th place), Climate Action (13th place), Life on Land (15th place), Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (16th place), and Partnerships for The Goals (15th place).
This monographic Special Issue of Sustainability (ISSN 2071-1050; Current Impact Factor JCR: 2.576) aims to provide an opportunity to present social and educational advances and proposals related to the development of programs based on principles of equity and sustainability, from an interdisciplinary approach, taking into account empirical or theoretical articles from educational, sociological or psychological approaches, in different study areas and research fields such as program development, educational evaluation, development of emotional intelligence, sustainable development, environmental education; educational psychology, psychological development, sociology, etc.
