Education as development

Education levels among women is the most important factor[verification needed] in reducing family size and thus population growth.

Educated mothers are better able to ensure the health of their children.

Educated farmers are better able to learn about alternative farming methods, and read other useful information.

Education provides opportunities for work, and thus financial security, access to healthcare and other essentials and many more choices in life.

Education about international development

Should we try to maintain an exhaustive list, on an Appropedia page, or is that already done elsewhere? It would be a huge task.

Face-to-face courses include:

  • RedRW's training programs.
  • International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) (Village Earth) at Colorado State University.[1] Courses include $345 courses with 20 face-to-face hours, and 2 week courses for $1450.
  • Educational Materials/Programs at NCAT's Smart Communities Network lists courses and materials in Sustainable Development.

Many universities have relevant programs. Notable examples include

Open Educational Resources

Open Educational Resources (OER) is the standard term for educational materials that can be freely accessed and used, either for personal learning or for classes.

For a listing of some relevant material on sustainability and international development, see the Open Educational Resources page.
