The main question of this book is ‘What can we learn from this intersecting crisis for transforming education for sustainable futures in southern African countries’.

The research process will generate a few additional questions including, but not limited to:

  • Can stronger school-community-government partnerships help to reduce risks and challenges such as those being faced now under the COVID-19 crisis?
  • What can our governments do better? 
  • What can communities and parents do?
  • What can educators and learners do?
  • What systems need to be generated to ensure an alternative, transformed future and what is the role of education in this story?
