This book makes an intervention in a long-standing discussion by arguing that education should be world-centred rather than child-centred or curriculum-centred. It demonstrates, not only to academics, but also to students, teachers, school administrators, and teacher educators, the urgency of a world-centred orientation for education today.
Drawing upon recent research projects undertaken by the co-authors, and other research within the wider research community, this timely book makes connections to projects and initiatives that are unfolding on the national and international scene. Highly Commended for the UKLA Academic Book Award 2013.
