Description

This subject explores the influences on education of emerging concepts concerning the future of education. This includes education (of, for and as) sustainability, globalisation and notions of sustainable education. It also examines the impact of these on education systems, educators, leaders and learners within the context of a globalised landscape. This subject provides educators with theoretical and conceptual frameworks to understand these influences and the practical tools to respond to such change.
