FORMATPaperback CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

The UN's Sustainable Development Goal #4 focuses on "inclusive, quality education", galvanising efforts for substantial educational reform around the globe. Progress is being made but are the initiatives being upscaled and mainstreamed rapidly enough? Have cooperative learning and creativity been given enough attention? Are teachers receiving sufficient support? These are some of the questions raised by Victoria Thoresen as she considers the goals and challenges iterated in the SDG.Thoresen argues that unless implementation of the new definitions of inclusive, quality education are prioritized everywhere, sustainable development will be severely hampered and, conceivably, misdirected. She examines the recent evolution of education in light of political and commercial ambitions, technological advancements, and knowledge creation and sharing. Key concerns relating to education for and learning about sustainable development are identified and major obstacles to achieving inclusive, quality education for all are discussed.

Review

This thought-provoking book encapsulates the profound expertise and invaluable insights of its author, whose extensive experience shines through every page. The book challenges conventional paradigms and inspires readers to reconceptualize education for sustainable development as a transformative force that nurtures not only intellectual growth but also the development of compassionate and engaged global citizens. I can highly recommend the book to educators, policymakers, students and scholars alike as a source of inspiration to reimagine education and unlock its potential to create sustainable change. -- Daniel Fischer, Professor of Education for Sustainable Development, Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany
