Towards Sustainable Education: Integrating Environmental and Social Responsibility into the Curriculum
Abstract
This research paper explores the crucial intersection between curriculum development and the imperative of sustainability in education. The abstract discusses the growing recognition of the need to prepare students for a rapidly changing world marked by environmental challenges and social complexities. It emphasizes the significance of incorporating sustainable principles, encompassing ecological consciousness and social responsibility, into educational frameworks. The paper delves into various strategies for infusing sustainability across diverse subjects, fostering a holistic understanding of interconnected global issues. Furthermore, it highlights the potential benefits of such an integrated approach, including enhanced critical thinking, active citizenship, and informed decision-making among students. The abstract concludes by underscoring the importance of collaborative efforts among educators, policymakers, and stakeholders to advance the cause of sustainable education for the betterment of present and future generations.
