Education for Sustainable Development

Sustainable development has three elements: the environment, society and the economy. If you think that three are overlapping circles of the same size, the overlapping area of ​​the center is human happiness. As the environment, society and the economy become more stable, the overlapping areas will increase and human well-being will increase. Therefore, education for sustainable development (ESD) is to use education as a tool to achieve sustainability. In short, ESD is a way for us and future generations to make the world safer, healthier and more suitable (McKeown, 2002, pp. 7 - 9).

Education for sustainable development means that education of sustainable development can create conscious classes and theoretical discussions while using education as a tool to achieve sustainability. ESD allows you to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values ​​necessary for everyone to shape a sustainable future. The goal of ESD is to enable learners of all ages to proactively contribute to a more just, peaceful, generous, inclusive and sustainable world. Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said, "The integration of sustainable development into the core of education is the biggest challenge." Let's challenge values ​​and attitudes. Recognizing the importance of education for sustainable development, the UN General Assembly announced as a decade of education for sustainable development led by UNESCO between 2005 and 2014.

In the past decade, clarifying the concept of ESD was a major challenge for educators. The broad scope of chapter 36 concerns the appropriate balance of ecological and development themes in sustainable development, peace, human rights, civic rights, social equality, overcrowded curriculum in the educational environment, and implications of that method Causing a wide range of arguments. Humanities, social science, and art are integrated into what has been seen and practiced as a field of science education so far. Some people think that there is a risk of penetrating sustainable education and others want to know if they need to ask the school to lead the transition to sustainable development.

My views on global education and education for sustainable development are both very important and must be promoted. ESD also emphasizes the importance of education as a tool for sustainable development activities related to global issues. He pointed out that if students and adults truly learn that they truly understand the general problems of sustainable development, they must have the opportunity to see them from different perspectives. It is not enough for people to see the world from their own perspective. You need to consider the views of different generations and people's views from other regions and cultures.
