The world Commission on Environment and Development promoted the concept of 'sustainable development' in the late 1980s. Until then, environment and development tended to be thought as two distinct actions. Until the exegete rendering of education, education and development subsidiariness are thought as standardized and interchangeable denominations. Theme 1: What is Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)? United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (UN DESD) delimitates education for sustainable development as;
Exegesis to Theme 1: ENTRY The mid 16th century Latin Education definability, definable terms and rules delimitate (set, mark, or draw the boundaries) educatio(n-), from the verb educare as;
“Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality…” The “full development of the human personality” argument in the aforesaid UDHR is corroborated by the international resolution on development, A/RES/41/128 on the Right to development, UN. Thusly, the synthesis of education and development inclusion is a singleton from the following panoptic education stance; Exegesis of Theme 1: What is Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)?
Education is almost not the charity shot to delimit the axiological necessaries of Sustainable Development, and what does sustainable development mean? In the document “DESD at a glance” (UN DESD 2005 – 2014), “sustainable development means having a different vision of the world.” To backdrop the general inclusive notion that values, behavior and lifestyles are important developmental desiderata via the education desideratum, is embracing the true meaning of sustainable development in the light of learning how to think in terms of “forever”. For all and sundry therefore, Sustainable Development is an educational concept to bring up and rear, erect, raise, lead forth and take out the full human personality; The complex of all the attributes--behavioral, temperamental, emotional and mental--that characterize a unique yet fully developed individual. Education hence, addresses how development is done or how it happens: education would buttress the following developmental axiological queries;

What should you be concerned about? How your hope for a better world bespeaks your apprehension of your starring educational choice? How your preceding - anteceding educational (informative or instructive knowledge providing) choice or activity has role-played your developmental determinacy?
The leading role today is the ICD - Providing a long-lived inverse example to educational-developmental backgrounding: non-utilitarianism has rendered world educational-developmental growth possiblenesses undecipherable or imperceptible by obscuring or concealing the exegesis of her warrant. The leading role today is the International Corporation Development (ICD) portfolio thanks to the overlying of utility, the charting of development from utile education countenance, tracing the lines of for many: employer education over the derisory, incongruous employee education (Banking system) which should play the background, or better still, play her nonexistence. The words for utility education in the aforementioned UNESCO quote are, “quality-relevance-good”, enunciated in the definition of utility education as, “the useful is the good.” In the same light, let us straightway, revalue education as the incumbent-superjacent setup and generator of global transcendency and her utilitarianism as normative: global maturation and her state of excelling, surpassing or going beyond usual limits, circumscribed by non-effete, ebullient utility, driven by usefulness and usability, rather than unobvious taxing conventionalities. The over-indulgency of these global education aforesaid conformisms are costed at knowledge/educational unoriginalities (uncreativeness due to a lack of originality) as a result of being too conventional. Shouldn’t we have to belie the overindulgences of inutility to utility? World Education and her arcane organizations, and instruments should not coiffure educational isms at the expense of her originative utilitarianisms; overpriced at her implications or essences without her finer nuances. It is the given that, the noticeableness of functional literacy should engender national legal and policy frameworks, parental guidance et aliae, to assign as priority, the unbending implements of useful education/utility education, and thereby, make such choices without disinclination; to secure recondite-abstruse socio-economic advancement, outright, for anthropic-anthropocentric maturement. Utility Education Apotheosis and Deification shouldn’t backside educational isms. As the one and only – nonpareil knowledgeability vantage, her knowability and praxis is the global eidos-ethos. Our role is to apotheosize usefulness as the good: our role is to idealize her concessions for global conciliation; to put in service, the impregnability of knowledge engrossment for supranational development via human-centered development. (Complimentary to the Alpha2000 map – Personal Development): Educational Utilitarianism and her ontology, is Education’s only sail. |

BTH Education Group is the world's leading education and development organization for supra-national anthropic development (Supra-NAD) and maturation; The development of the nations of the world is dependent on the independent full development of the various families that constitute the societies of nations of the world. As stated in UDHR Article 16, part 3, "The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State." Hence, institutional development should consider the family as the foundation of education and development in the world. The aforementioned is the substantive basis of Our Role: building strong institutions (UN SDG#16 : Family Education Centers et alia) for supra-national development.
