SUMMARY:The Education World Forum\, London
DESCRIPTION:New Beginnings: Nurturing Learning Culture\, Building Resilience\, Promoting Sustainability. Stronger\, Bolder\, Better Education by Design \nBy invitation. \nDescribed as ‘the world’s largest gathering of education and skills ministers’\, this annual event attracts delegates from across the world. \n\nEWF 2023 addresses how education has changed and what we have learned from recent disruption and responses and considers longer term challenge and change. The conversations and exchanges at EWF are intended to help every participant to understand better what might work for education systems and help influence life and culture positively. Among other things\, the programme will address building resilience among people\, organisations and systems for learning and education. It will examine policies for development of knowledge\, skills\, attitudes and values; it will reflect on the importance of leadership\, and the growing potential of technology’s support for education’s core aims. EWF’s programme will also consider education’s sustainability as well as its potential to aid understanding and contribute to global sustainability. The organisers hope it will assist every participant to help navigate their policy and practical paths towards new beginnings for stronger\, bolder and better education\, from early years through school\, college and university to life long learning. \n\nThe EWF is supported by the UK Government (Department for Education\, Department for International Trade\, Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office) and the British Council.

SUMMARY:Deakin University School of Education and REDI: COVID-19 and the (broken) promise of education for sustainable development
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 and the (Broken) promise of education for sustainable development – a case study from postcolonial Pakistan. \nWednesday 10 May 2023\, 5.00pm – 6.00pm AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time)\, 7.00am – 8.00am UTC \nOn-line Zoom webinar and book launch. \nRegister here. \nThis webinar\, and the book that frames it\, charts the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic\, and the impact that it has had on the lives of young people and their communities\, education systems\, the teaching profession\, governments and NGOs in postcolonial Pakistan. It is a case study of the ‘broken promise’ of education for sustainable development.  \nDrawing on theories of postcolonialism\, feminism\, and neo-liberal globalisation\, the book explores the development of Pakistan as a postcolonial nation-state\, and examines the legacies of colonialism in education systems and policies\, teacher education and development.  \nCOVID-19\, the climate crisis\, and the crisis of development in the globalising\, neoliberal version of capitalism\, present profound challenges for meeting the already limited aspirations of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Numerous UN report cards point to the qualified success in relation to many of the SDGs and their associated targets – in the ‘over-developed’ neoliberal democracies\, and in the middle- and low-income economies. Indeed\, these crises have amplified the challenges associated with the development aspirations\, plans and policies of many postcolonial nation states\, and in particular Pakistan. \nThe study will have significant impact in post COVID-19 Pakistan\, South Asia more broadly\, and in other postcolonial development contexts around the world. \nSpeakers and Discussants\nChair: Professor Peter Kelly\, School of Education and REDI\, Deakin University (Australia). \nIntroductions: Dr Farid Panjwani\, Dean of the Aga Khan University-Institute for Educational Development (Pakistan). \nSpeakers: Dr Javed Anwar Shahwani\, Dr Sher Rahmat Khan and Dr Mir Zaman Shah\, RMIT University (Australia). \nDiscussants: Dr Hafeez Ahmed Jamali\, Director General of Balochistan Civil Service Academy (Pakistan) and Mr Ghulam Nabi Marri\, Economist with the UN-International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) (Pakistan). \nDetails about the book can be found here.
