This paper analyzes concepts that represent future education and are related to the educational discourse in general and to environmental education in particular. The concepts of human agency, child agency, non-human, and more-than-human are reconsidered in view of the discourse of new materialism. Beginning with academic discourse, the authors are going to examine these concepts in the recent future-oriented publications of the OECD and UNESCO. Despite visible efforts to integrate these new concepts and a new understanding of their content, the authors reveal an existing tension between different positions regarding the future of education in the publications of the OECD and UNESCO, especially as they relate to the anthropocentric approach.
