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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMarcelo Su疵ez-Orozco and Carola Su疵ez-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.
