The provision of quality education and lifelong learning opportunities is crucial to ensuring a full and productive life to all individuals. Despite considerable progress in school enrolment, profound challenges remain to achieving inclusive and equitable quality education for young people and adults alike. This issue is particularly acute for those in the most deprived communities (e.g. in sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia) and in vulnerable or marginalised populations (e.g. those with disabilities, indigenous peoples, refugees or the rural poor). Beyond primary and secondary education, there is also a pressing need to increase the number of appropriately skilled young people and adults so as to maximise employment, eliminate gender and wealth disparities, create more sustainable societies, and to stimulate entrepreneurship.
This interdisciplinary Collection invites research that reflects on all aspects of the provision of quality education and training — from pre-school education through to lifelong learning and upskilling.
Contributions are welcomed from different disciplinary vantage points and on a wide range of themes, including but not limited to:
- Pre-primary education
- Primary and secondary education
- Technical, vocational and higher education
- Discrimination and inequalities in education
- Education and entrepreneurship
- Education for sustainable development and global citizenship
- Skills training and lifelong learning
- Literacy and numeracy
- Schooling facilities and environments
- Scholarships and scholarship programmes
- Teacher training – innovations and fresh perspectives
- Covid-19 and its effect on educational provision and attainment
- Government-level education policy
- Role of the private sector, NGOs and other organisations in the provision of educational tools and facilities
