Opis

Education for sustainable development (ESD) is at the heart of global development agendas and aims to ensure inclusive, equitable quality education and to promote life-long learning opportunities for all in order to achieve economic and social sustainable development. The focus of the book is on the African continent and makes the case that ESD needs to be relevant to the African context, inclusive in addressing inequalities, democratic in encouraging debate and contributing to global citizenship and embedded in education systems that are sustainable and linked to sustainable development priorities. It draws on a wealth of research evidence and examples to illustrate key points.
