Author Description

This is an open access book. In recent decades, the world has witnessed various global crises that include climate change, pandemics, social inequality, economic instability and conflict. These crises not only pose great challenges to governments and the private sector, but also to the global community as a whole. This situation calls for a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to find sustainable solutions. Education plays a central role in equipping young people with the knowledge, skills and values needed to address these global challenges. Through inclusive and quality education, individuals can be developed into innovative and responsible leaders, ready to contribute to their society and environment. Education also plays an important role in raising awareness about global issues and promoting international co-operation. On the other hand, social sciences offer critical insights into the social, economic and political dynamics underlying the global crisis. Research in the social sciences can uncover the root causes of inequality, conflict and environmental degradation, and identify effective interventions to address these problems. Social science also helps in understanding how public policies can be designed and implemented to support sustainable development and community well-being. With this background, The UPY - ICCCM International Conference on Education and Social Science (UPINCESS) 2024 was held to bring together academics, researchers, practitioners, and policy makers from various countries to discuss, share knowledge, and collaborate in finding solutions to the global crises we face today. Thus, this conference is expected to make a real contribution in building a more just, prosperous, and sustainable world through education and social science.
