    "content": "from selfish to collaborative behavior and from concrete to abstract reasoning. This area was also dwelt in widely. The other sub-theme was primary and secondary education which was also touched on without limiting an area that concerns this particular Senate, which it Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). In this particular area, it was noted that TVET was important for several reasons. First, it can help translate school knowledge into applicable skills and promote economic growth. If these are acquired, with an awareness of sustainable use of resources and disposal of waste, this can be reflected in more environmentally friendly production. The second effect is that career education and training can help students identify occupation and livelihoods that are attractive and available. A balanced national curriculum will include knowledge and skills directly related to common vocations to the importance of sustainable development. The other sub-theme was on tertiary education. We also touched widely on this particular theme because this is also a great investment to most countries. The second theme touched on building resilience through education.

We also touched on sub-themes within the same on areas like quality of education in supporting resilience and inclusivity. We looked at whether education is inclusive in supporting resilience and the development of indigenous knowledge to respond to various challenges that are occurring in the current society. We also looked at unemployable skills in response to resilience and other areas. The last sub-theme that the Conference dwelt on was education governance and management. Good governance and effective education management practices are central to realizing equitable access to quality education. Governance in education systems promotes effective delivery of education services and it encompasses governmental processes of developing and implementing education policies. Good governance is the ideal in which political processes translate the will of the people into public policies and establish the rules that efficiently and effectively deliver services to all members of society. It implies value judgment that may differ across Commonwealth countries about what is good but these are more likely to reflect divergence of goals and system levels, aims and objectives that different assessment of the mechanisms that translate aspirations into action. In the same governance, sub-themes touched on management capacity building, assessment and data collection in the area of management, education financing and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
