Sanjoy Halder "A Critical Analysis of the Delors Commission Report and its Relevance in the 21st Century" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-10 | Issue-3, June 2026, pp.645-649, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd102087.pdf

The Delors Commission Report, published by the in 1996 under the title Learning: The Treasure Within, remains one of the most influential documents in the field of education. The report proposed a holistic vision of lifelong learning based on four pillars: learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together, and learning to be. This study critically examines the philosophical foundations, educational implications, and contemporary relevance of the report in the twenty-first century. Through qualitative analysis of secondary sources, the study explores how the report addresses globalization, technological transformation, social inclusion, sustainable development, and citizenship education. The findings indicate that despite significant changes in educational contexts, the Delors framework continues to guide educational reforms worldwide. However, challenges such as digital inequality, commercialization of education, and implementation gaps require renewed policy attention to ensure the report’s vision remains relevant and effective.
