UKFIET International Conference on Education and Development

01 Septembre 2017

The UKFIET 2017 International Conference on Education and Development, “Learning and Teaching for Sustainable Development: Curriculum, Cognition and Context”, will be held 5–7 September, at the University of Oxford (UK).

“This year’s UKFIET Conference takes place two years after the agreement on the Sustainable Development Goals. We are now at a moment where there is a push both to raise the levels of international funding for education that are necessary to support the achievement of SDG4 and to finalise the indicators that will be used to focus efforts around the SDG. The UKFIET Conference offers an important opportunity for the staff of international development agencies, NGOs and consultancies to meet with academics to consider whether we have been heading in the right direction over the past two years or whether there is need for a course correction.”
