| 4.3 By 2030, ensure equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education, including university | 4.3.1 Participation rate of youth and adults in formal and non-formal education and training in the previous 12 months, by sex | The "Academic Services to Society Project (Saen Saeb Model)" which organizes activities to develop music and performing arts skills for students at Wat Uthai Tharam School is part of the effort to promote education and training in informal formats. This initiative helps increase youth participation in learning new skills, particularly in cultural arts such as music and dance. The workshops organized attract participants from all age groups, including both youth and adults interested in developing their skills in the arts and performance. The high participation rates reflect the significance of this project in creating educational opportunities for both male and female members of the community, while also stimulating long-term learning benefits. |
| 4.7 By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture's contribution to sustainable development | 4.7.1 Extent to which (i) global citizenship education and (ii) education for sustainable development, including gender equality and human rights, are mainstreamed at all levels in (a) national education policies; (b) curricula; (c) teacher education; and (d) student assessment |
The "Academic Services to Society Project (Saen Saeb Model)" that develops music and performing arts skills for students at Wat Uthai Tharam School is closely linked to the broader scope of (i) Global Citizenship Education and (ii) Education for Sustainable Development, while also promoting gender equality and human rights. The project aligns with these educational frameworks in the following ways: Global Citizenship Education (GCE): The program helps students develop a sense of cultural identity and global citizenship through exposure to music and performing arts. By learning about their cultural heritage and engaging with diverse forms of expression, students are better equipped to understand and appreciate global interconnectedness, respect for different cultures, and shared values such as peace, social justice, and equality. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD): The skills taught in the project—such as traditional music and dance—promote sustainability by preserving cultural heritage and fostering creativity, which is key to sustainable social and economic development. Students are encouraged to think critically about their role in society and how they can contribute to building a more sustainable future through the arts. Gender Equality and Human Rights: The project promotes inclusivity and equal opportunities for both male and female students, ensuring that all have access to the same educational resources and opportunities. By offering the same level of participation and respect for all students, regardless of gender, the project reinforces the importance of gender equality and human rights in educational settings. In terms of integration across different educational levels: (a) National Education Policy: The project contributes to the national education policy by fostering a more inclusive and diverse educational experience that embraces both formal and informal learning opportunities. It supports policies that emphasize cultural education and the development of well-rounded individuals. (b) Curriculum: The curriculum can be enriched by integrating the arts and cultural learning into broader educational goals, fostering not only academic knowledge but also creativity, critical thinking, and social skills that align with the global and sustainable development agenda. (c) Teacher Education: The training of educators can incorporate methodologies that emphasize the importance of cultural arts as a means of fostering global citizenship, gender equality, and sustainable development. Teachers are equipped to integrate these values into their teaching practices. (d) Student Assessment: Assessment frameworks can include evaluating students not only on academic achievements but also on their ability to contribute to community development, their understanding of cultural heritage, and their promotion of social justice, gender equality, and sustainability. |

SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES

| 11.4 Strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world's cultural and natural heritage | 11.4.1 Total expenditure (public and private) per capita spent on the preservation, protection and conservation of all cultural and natural heritage, by type of heritage (cultural, natural, mixed and World Heritage Centre designation), level of government (national, regional and local/municipal), type of expenditure (operating expenditure/investment) and type of private funding (donations in kind, private non-profit sector and sponsorship) | The "Academic Services to Society Project (Saen Saeb Model)" focusing on developing music and performing arts skills at Wat Uthai Tharam School is indirectly related to the total expenditure per capita spent on the preservation, protection, and conservation of cultural heritage. By promoting traditional music (such as the long drum ensemble) and dance, the project contributes to the preservation of cultural heritage at a local level, particularly through the education of youth. While the project itself may not involve direct financial expenditure on heritage conservation, it supports long-term sustainability by fostering an appreciation for cultural practices. This aligns with broader public and private investment in cultural heritage conservation, as it highlights the importance of protecting intangible cultural heritage, such as performing arts, which is often less funded compared to tangible heritage. The project also ties into the concept of local government expenditure (regional and local) that may allocate resources to support the preservation of local cultural practices, even if it's not explicitly categorized as operating expenditure or investment in a formal budget. Private sector funding, such as donations and sponsorships, can also play a role in supporting such cultural initiatives, ensuring the continuation of these practices for future generations. |
