Global Perspectives on Family Life Education

Abstract

Throughout this book, each set of authors has encouraged readers to gain a better understanding of how family life education is perceived and accomplished in each of the highlighted countries. While various educational practices unique to each country’s cultural and political/economic situation have been highlighted, several themes have emerged to exemplify just how similar or congruent some of the educational practices that have been implemented throughout the world are. In this concluding chapter, we felt it important to highlight some of these overarching themes.
