Track 5 : Susutainable Education: Resilient Educators and Learners in a Crisis-prone Context

Lead : Dr. Nurul Fatehah Aziz

Topic - Keynote Speaker(S)

Synopsis

Well into the third decade of the twenty-first century, contemporary culture is underlined by the trinity of crises in politics, the economy, and fossil fuel-based industrial activities. These crises have intensified due to the interdependence and complex linkages between societies, cultures, economies, and institutions, enabled by advanced information and communication technology. Against this backdrop, education is often disrupted by emergent crises such as natural disasters and Covid-19, making it harder for school children and mature learners alike to gain access and remain in enrolment. This precarious condition calls for a sustainable education system that nurtures resilient educators and learners of diverse and divergent needs to develop and adapt to crisis-sensitive teaching and learning plans. Under this system, schools are equipped with backup infrastructure and trained teachers who can support psychosocial needs in the face of a future of threat, uncertainty, and surprise. This conference track invites papers by experienced and early career researchers exploring current challenges, crisis-oriented methods, and the socioeconomic implications of these emerging practices within sustainable education.
