During a period of real pressure on public finances, government must ensure that it spends its limited resources where it can make the most impact. The report “The impact of global learning on public attitudes and behaviours towards international development and sustainability” sets out evidence from a study commissioned by DEA, a UK-based education charity that promotes global learning.
Performed by Ipsos MORI, the study looked into how global learning can change public attitudes and behaviours relating to international development and sustainability. The report highlights that, by investing in education programmes in the UK that focus on global issues, government can catalyse the public into taking action on these issues. Education can create a multiplier effect for government spending, thereby ensuring that we can use our resources efficiently to meet goals such as eradicating global poverty, addressing climate change and creating strong and cohesive communities.
