The paper identifies and characterizes global trends in the development and introduction of digital technologies for implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the context of digitalization of the economy and society, including the integrated impact of 4.0 industry technologies on the achievement of sustainable development goals, digital technologies as a driver of a new stage of sustainable development and new markets discovery, strengthening the role of international organizations in updating digital development policy. Practical examples of the Sustainable Development Goals implementation have been analysed and the provision has been substantiated that the breakthroughs in the field of digital technologies have already led to wealth creation in an unprecedentedly short time, concentrated, however, in a small number of countries, companies and individuals. The aforesaid indicates the existence of “digital inequality”, which poses serious tasks for the decision-making bodies of states to develop mechanisms for its elimination or reduction. The status of these processes in Ukraine has been identified and the following has been revealed: a number of electronic administrative services for individuals and legal entities and the Unified State Portal of Administrative Services were introduced, a new generation of digital technologies is being introduced into the industry, such as Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data and data analytics, robotics, and 3D printing that open new horizons for innovative products and services development. It has been established that our state is not yet sufficiently transforming the capabilities of modern digital technologies into economic and social benefits (digital dividends): there is no systematic approach to the implementation of the approved measures, no digital competencies are being formed, including for the population, there is a detachment from the SDGs Strategy. The proposals on actualization of these issues and their heading in the direction of processes and formation socialization of the newest model of the international relations environment, in particular in the elaboration of geopolitical values, implementation of the principles of «sustainable development» in the digital transformation of economy and society on the basis of integration and controllability.

Philosophy of education in Kenya needs to be constantly reconstructed given the emerging needs of society and in light of global trends. Changes in the education system over time have not eradicated education challenges that result in unemployment and social evils in Kenya. There are also global and national goals to be met. The objective of this study was to examine the role of philosophers and suggest whether professional philosophers could reconstruct philosophy of education in Kenya to guide the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Kenya Vision 2030 Plan. The SDGs and Kenya’s Vision 2030 work in tandem, and if effectively and efficiently implemented, guided by a sound philosophy of education, lives of all Kenyans would be raised to international standards. This study was conducted as desk research that employed critical conceptual philosophical literature review. A recommendation was made that experts in philosophy of education could use Dewey’s philosophy of pragmatism to facilitate the reconstruction of Kenya’s national philosophy of education as a tool to steer attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Kenya Vision 2030.
