In anticipation of the publication of the special issue of the International Journal of Educational Development (IJED) titled ‘Critical Perspectives at the Midpoint of SDG 4: Progress, Promises and Pitfalls,’ the SDG Academy will convene a pre-launch event in support of the SDG Summit at ICSD 2023. Authors from the special issue will speak broadly on their topics and share their critical perspectives at this important moment in the UN’s development agenda.
The six major themes to be discussed include
inclusion in education;
measurements and metrics for SDG 4;
governance and state capacity;
education as a cross-cutting theme; shocks, fragility and resilient education systems; and
theoretical, historical, and onto-epistemic considerations and limitations.
The side event is hosted by the SDG Academy, the University of Hawaii, and Monash University.
