Education and Security. Global Learning for Sustainable Development - Susan Wiksten

Education and Security is the outcome of a collaboration of renowned experts from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe. Cases examined include teacher training for supporting the instruction of large groups of students in Tanzania, changing requirements for teacher training in Türkiye, anti-racism instruction in Finland, the changing role of NGOs in efforts to advance the use of SEL practices across several continents, resilience building in Denmark and Europe at large, as well as insights from Ukraine on efforts to support refugees and a continued development of education in a context of war.

Educators, education planners and researchers working with the development of education policy and practices will benefit from the broad range of cases analysed. This volume is also an essential resource for students and scholars of sociology, comparative education and citizenship education looking to further their understanding of the relationship between education and security.

This prescient book explores the contributions of education to international security. Findings from a critical analysis of education policies and practices from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe highlight the potential of global learning for promoting sustainable development.
