Educational Response, Inclusion and Empowerment for SDGs in Emerging Economies

This volume analyzescases from emerging economies in relation to the global endeavor to promote the vision of sustainable development in all forms of education. It aims to discussthe significance of hearing local voices and understanding local discourse regarding strategies for action for change, and the role of educational systems as a means to communicate, promote and educate for theSustainableDevelopment Goals (SDGs). In this book,emerging economies are defined as newlyindustrializedcountries that have not yet reached developed status, but have, in a macro-economic sense, outpaced their developing counterparts. In this context, the bookhighlights how education in emerging economies could extend conventional economic methods to sustainability issues, or depart from money-based calculations and business-dominated values to promotion of real-life considerations and ethical, environmental and humanistic values. With the help of this volume, readers will have a chance to look at educational response, inclusion and empowerment for SDGs in countries with emerging economies, and to grasp the synthesis of Education forSustainableDevelopment/Global Citizenship Education (ESD/GCE) within the overall national educational systems. This volume focuses on early childhood through upper secondary education.
