The book provides practical implications for policymakers, educators, and researchers, encouraging inclusive policy development and contextual teaching approaches. A valuable resource for academics, instructors, and university students, this title also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, promoting quality education, gender equality, decent work, and reduced inequality.
