In an age of catastrophes-unchecked climate change, extreme
poverty, forced migrations, war, and terror, all compounded by the
COVID-19 pandemic-how can schooling be reengineered and education
reimagined? This book calls for a new global approach to education
that responds to these overlapping crises in order to enrich and
enhance the lives of children everywhere. Marcelo Suarez-Orozco and
Carola Suarez-Orozco convene scholars and practitioners from a
range of disciplines-including anthropology, neuroscience,
demography, psychology, child development, sociology, and
economics-who offer incisive essays on the global state of
education. Contributors consider how educational policy and
practice can foster social inclusion and improve outcomes for all
children. They emphasize the centrality of education to social and
environmental justice, as well as the philosophical foundations of
education and its centrality to human flourishing, personal
dignity, and sustainable development. Chapters examine topics such
as the neuroscience of education; the uses of technology to engage
children who are not reached by traditional schooling; education
for climate change; the education of immigrants, refugees, and the
forcibly displaced; and how to address and mitigate the effects of
inequality and xenophobia in the classroom. Global and
interdisciplinary, Education speaks directly to urgent contemporary
challenges. Contributors include Stefania Giannini, the director of
education for UNESCO; development economist Jeffrey Sachs;
cognitive psychologist Howard Gardner; Carla Rinaldi, president of
the Reggio Children Foundation; and academics from leading global
universities. The book features a foreword by Pope Francis.
