Education for Sustainable Development

Abstract

The economic development model is a disastrous notion. Quest for profit and power compels man to use and misuse nature. The current sustainable development paradigm seeks to “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs.” This article used the theoretical method to discuss the education needed to inculcate the values of sustainable development for imperative reorientation for attitudinal and value changes, policy innovation, political transformations, and economic restructuring. It recommends Conservation Education for human wellbeing, Environmental Education for preservation of natural resources, and Ecology Education for ecological society.
