This study employed a qualitative method comprising both a substantive literature review alongside with primary research with local government representatives, community organisations and educators. The data was analysed using thematic analysis with a planetary social pedagogy approach as a theoretical framework. The result show that the back-to-school campaign is run in a decentralized way, with local governments exercising control over the selection of policies and tactics.
