Since, the global environmental crisis has only deepened

In this 2024 rejoinder, we revisit the analysis in the 2021 report, following the same methodology with the aim to see if the updated data from various journals tells us a different story.

The deliberate destruction of the Palestinian education system threatens the future for Palestinian children, teenagers, and adults.

It damages international educational advancement, robbing the world of the vital contributions of Palestinian researchers, thinkers, and educators.

The failure of the international community to respond has led to a growing normalisation of scholasticide. This reflects a deeper crisis in our global values.

Evidence, if you ever needed it, of mainstream economics' breadth without depth. Colonial institutions extracted value and wealth from the Global South, forming the basis of Global North prosperity.

This work depoliticises the historical process of decolonisation and distorts the contemporary relationship between developing economies and global financial institutions in perpetuating global inequality and debt.

We need to roll back this assumption that economic development comes with the importation of western, capitalist institutions and engage with the core questions of political economy and history that are at the heart of economic development.
