International Understanding and Cooperation in Education in the Post-Corona World

Research Report of International Understanding and Cooperation in Education in the Post-Corona World

APCEIU has published a report, including research studies from 6 experts  in order to figure out the role of education in promoting international understanding and cooperation in the education sector in the post-pandemic world. Through this research project, APCEIU mainly sought to answer the following questions;

▲What will be the implications of COVID-19 for international exchange and cooperation especially in education?

▲What should we as educators, researchers, and practitioners do to counter the rise of populist nationalism?

▲What should be the focus and direction of international cooperation in education during and after the pandemic in order to promote international understanding and GCED?

This research project is expected to provide insightful views on the desirable direction for international understanding and cooperation in the education sector.
