Conclusions of the Asia Round Table "Human Education in the 3rd Millennium" (June 25, 2022)

1. We consider the Declaration to be an extremely significant document, which should be widely presented for familiarization and discussion among educators in the world.
2. We support the main positions and ideas presented in the Declaration
3. We believe that the Declaration should take place and be continued by actions leading to the embodiment of its ideas.
4. We especially emphasize the importance of the problem of economic imperialism raised in the Declaration.
5. Another major issue to which we wish to draw attention is formulated in paragraph 2 of the Declaration. (The rise of authoritarianism in many places across the world and the lack of clarity about what ‘democracy’ is and its educational role; challenges to the realization of justice, equity, and human rights principles)
6. We fully support emphasizing the role of universities and propose the wording that universities should contribute to social change and not just sell education.
7. We believe that the approach to teacher education needs to be clarified in the sense that it is necessary to prepare teachers who are able to teach children to think and question the status quo, etc. in such a way that at the same time, these teachers can save their jobs
8. In order to better reflect the situation in Asian countries, we propose to strengthen and clarify the position on the place of religion in education and introduce a wording on the importance of teaching students about interreligious dialogue.
9. Women's empowerment through education, which is very important for Asia, can be especially mentioned as we see double standards approaches in our countries on this issue.
10. We propose to introduce the wording that instead of competition between the education systems of different countries, all educators need to think and build relationships with each other as one global educational “football team”.
