14-18 April 2019, San Francisco, USA: NORRAG panels at the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) Annual Conference, Education for Sustainability
NORRAG and its network members will participate in the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) Annual Conference on 14-18 April 2019, San Francisco, USA.
With the growth and evolution of philanthropy in education worldwide, NORRAG’s panels seek to explain the possible impact of new philanthropy and other similar approaches as it bypasses existing policies and practice. Consistent with long-standing international agreements, as well as growing trends to encourage private sector participation in both policy formulation and provision of education to compensate perceived contemporary inadequacies, the emphasis will be on how these radically different approaches and agreements can, and are likely to, affect public education both locally in the United States and globally.
These panels are aimed to contribute to better understand how the emerging philanthropic trends emanating from new technology philanthropists develop their strategies, as well as shed light on how their evolving engagement potentially affects local and international educational development.
As in previous years, NORRAG will host a reception for members and interested parties on Wednesday 17 April from 20.30-21.45pm, location Waterfront CD, for an informal get-together and networking opportunity.
