Description
Summary:This book features chapters by scholars from various education fields specialising in sustainability. As the first volume in North-West University’s Community-based Educational Research Series, it focuses on transforming education through a participatory approach. The authors explore quality education across early childhood, primary, secondary and higher education by examining collaborative efforts among practitioners, parents and teachers. This scholarly book provides empirical evidence on how collaborative initiatives can promote sustainable development. These initiatives encourage partnerships among community leaders, educators, learners, nongovernmental organisations, government and the private sector for lifelong learning and professional development. It highlights southern African experiences in collaborative education, aligned with the United Nations’ sustainable development goal of achieving quality education. The book demonstrates various research designs and methods applied to educational practice from early childhood to tertiary levels through empirical research and community projects.
