Education Charter International (ECI) 2026+ – Public Consultation
A Global Public Consultation on the Future of Education
Reaffirming and renewing a global education charter first developed between 1999–2003, for the realities of 2026 and beyond.
What is the Education Charter International?
The Education Charter International (ECI) is a global, values-based call to action that affirms education as:
- a public good
- a civic responsibility
- a shared global commitment
Originally developed between 1999 and 2003, the Charter was promoted through the CCLP Worldwide platform as a campaign for ethical, inclusive, and socially responsible education.
In 2026, CCLP Worldwide initiated a structured renewal of the Charter to respond to profound changes in education, technology, society, and global needs.
WHY A RENEWAL IS NEEDED NOW
Section Title
Why Renew the Charter in 2026?
Education systems today face challenges that did not exist—or were marginal—two decades ago:
- Artificial intelligence and digital transformation
- Skills disruption and lifelong reskilling needs
- Inequality in access and outcomes
- Climate, sustainability, and civic resilience
- Ethical risks: misinformation, misuse, excessive commercialisation
ECI 2026+ responds to these realities while preserving the Charter’s original moral foundations.
What Does ECI 2026+ Cover?
School Education (K–12)
Equity, citizenship, and foundational learning
TVET & Skills
Livelihood, dignity of work, employability
Higher Education & Universities
Academic integrity, research, and teacher education
(Universities as ethical & intellectual anchors)
Lifelong Learning

What ECI 2026+ Is — and Is Not
ECI 2026+ Is
- A voluntary global charter
- A values and responsibility framework
- A coalition-based initiative
ECI 2026+ IS NOT
- A law or treaty
- An accreditation or certification
- A ranking or regulatory mechanism
Participation is voluntary, non-binding, and non-commercial.
Why Universities Matter in ECI 2026+
ECI 2026+ recognises universities as ethical and intellectual anchors within the education continuum.
Their role includes:
- Knowledge creation and research integrity
- Teacher education and system leadership
- Ethical guidance on digital and AI use
- Support to schools, TVET, and lifelong learning
This anchoring role does not diminish other education pathways—it strengthens the entire system.
