The 11th International Conference on Education and Development, Oxford, UK
12 October 2011 - 12 October 2011
United Kingdom
The 11th International Conference on Education and Development will take place from 13 to 15 September 2011 in Oxford, UK.
Global recession, climate change, conflict and emergency are challenges that have dominated the first decade of the 21st century. They have left few countries untouched. Governments are struggling to redress declining trade, brain drain and loss of revenues. Education risks being a casualty of these contemporary uncertainties. It is a catalyst for growth, environmental protection and peace-building, but it can also aggravate social tensions and marginalisation. The event will examine such questions as:
- How can education best contribute to sustainable development and a peaceful society?
- How can the delivery of basic education to the poorest be safeguarded in times of crisis?
- What types of learning and modes of delivery can best support individuals and states while helping economies to grow?
- What skills can best meet the needs of highly mobile labour markets?
Expected conference attendees will include policymakers, teachers, researchers, managers, advisers and other stakeholders.For further information, please visit: http://www.cfbt.com/ukfiet/(opens in new window)
