It discusses the Dutch concept “Onderwijs 2032” (Education 2032) and its relationship to the promotion of “Excellent Education” by the Dutch Ministry of Education, the EU concept which are explained in “ Project Europe 2030” and the UNESCO vision of Education after 2015. Furthermore, within this forward vision, the importance and necessity of training of educators and library staff within the school community will also be discussed. It will also address the role which the IASL might be able to play at international level in supporting the school librarians, teachers, librarians, library advisers, consultants, educational administrators, and others who are responsible for library and information services in schools.
