This paper treats the effects of the new SDGs (Sustainable development goals) ‒ and especially the goal 4 which aims to “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” ‒ on educational policies. Adopted during the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in September 2015 in New-York, the SDGs present a post-2015 development agenda which succeed the UN Millennium Development Goals. In this presentation we will discuss the idea that with the SDGs, we are launched in a “durability apparatus (in Foucault sense)” and that the new human expected is a Homo Sustainabilis (HS). Education has to play a fundamental role in the development of a HS. With the objective to create citizens who will have integrated the idea of durability in the choice of their daily actions and the necessity to avoid the risks, the control procedures of the effects of individuals’ actions will be set up. The technical equipment of quality control and reduction of the uncertainty, which can be referred with the ideals which support the production of HS is already present in teaching (rankings, PISA, quality insurance, AHELO, learning outcomes).
