Development Education

Published by the Academic Network on Global Education and Learning (ANGEL) and supported by more than 30 organisations in the UK, this document puts forward a clear and urgent message for the  restoration of British government funding for global learning.  It argues that: educators are struggling to address a growing roster of complex and global issues, including the climate emergency, conflict, inequality and extreme poverty.  It calls for a properly resourced new framework for global learning across the UK to redress a significant reduction in funding since 2010.  July 2024.


Editors: Gerard McCann, Nita Mishra, and Pádraig Carmody (Bristol University Press, 2022). 

This open access book examines the unique implications of the pandemic in the Global South. With international contributors from a variety of disciplines, it investigates the pandemic’s effects on development, medicine, gender (in)equality and human rights among other issues.

The Global Learning Programme has achieved unprecedented success in its reach to schools across the United Kingdom, with over 10,000 schools registered, and more than 40,000 teachers and 500,000 pupils involved. A high proportion of schools that engaged with the programme had not been involved with global learning previously, and there is a high percentage of positive impact recorded in schools all across the UK.

Each of the programmes, in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, has a range of case studies and other evidence from schools on their websites. Here is gathered together a small selection of these and a range of quotes that show glimpses of what has been achieved, the diversity of the schools we have worked with, and the benefits and impact of global learning.


The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals have given us a universal set of global objectives, and an agreed framework within which to build a better and more equal society for all. We all have a responsibility to become leaders and champions of these goals so that we can work towards ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring equality and prosperity for all.

Developing this toolkit has been an exciting and rewarding process for Global Action Plan and we would like to sincerely thank Irish Aid’s WorldWise Global Schools Programme for supporting this project.
