SDG clause 4.7 refers to education that ensures a sound understanding of sustainable development. But school curricula fragment the world into disciplines and sub-disciplines.

Progress with the rest of the SDGs critically depends on advancing SDG 4.yet present curricula do not prepare students to understand this.
